Dear Firefly:
Your helpful post is to be applauded. As a new member of Flyertalk you have already contributed in a significant manner. Thank you.
Please do not cheapen your contribution by expecting something in return. You underestimate the generosity of many of the members of this board who will often reward a valuable contribution such as yours. The spontaniety of such a thank you is taken away when someone expects something for their good deed.
I hope you will benefit in the future from the input of others on this board, just as many here have benefited from your exceptional post. I hope you will remain an ongoing contributor to this great board as you spend the next few years away at school.
I wish you the very best.
