I finally arrived into the 4 digit category and saved my 1000th post for this special thread.
In my first year here, following the advice of many I was able to make 1k, after having spent over 10 years at the 1P level. I am now closing in on my MM status much more quickly thanks to FT.
When I first joined the school of FT, I followed the posts of many of the Evangelists (some might consider it stalking
). Initially I may have even developed a crush on a few of them, as in I hoped to cross paths in some airport or perhaps be seated next to one on a long flight so I could discuss all things flyertalk. As a "young grasshopper" I could see clearly that they had so much information they were willing to share. I have learned a great deal in these two years and hope to continue to learn from the masters and contribute to others along the way.
