That explains your reaction when I met you for the first time last week and asked about your FT handle.
You good-naturedly gave me one of these--->
I think one the qualities I bring to FlyerTalk is a total devotion to this site. I'm almost
to admit that I'm online every day of the year at one time or another. Very little happens around FT of which I'm not aware. That's probably a bad thing from the standpoint of my having a real life.
But it's probably a good thing to have in a TalkBoard candidate. I feel I'm pretty much in tune with the sentiment of the members and very aware of the issues that we are all facing here on a daily basis.
Secondly, I get a lot of PM's and e-mails from members and I answer them in a near real-time basis. If you have an issue with FlyerTalk and I'm a TalkBoard member, fire off a message to me and you'll get a prompt answer in return.
And even if I'm not elected, contact me anyway. I know enough of the TalkBoard members that I can most likely funnel your request to somebody who will help.
