However, just as I said I would be very hesitant to vote in someone for a third term, I would be even more leary of voting for someone who has little or no experience with FlyerTalk.
But never say "never". Rquesty has only 20 posts on FlyerTalk but if he were to seek to serve on TalkBoard I would vote for him without any hesitation.
For those of you not familiar with that user name, his full name is Richard Quest. IMHO, he is one of the best anchors on CNN and hosts its "Business Traveler" segments. I think he would be a wonderful TB asset.
Dovster,
I appreciate your giving an example of someone you'd vote for with few posts. After thinking about this a while, I wouldn't vote for him. He hasn't chosen to spend any time on FlyerTalk participating. This is a user advisory board that, in my opinion, should be composed of ....
users.
I respect your opinion, regardless.
