Scan through the MM Roll Call thread. He posted within the last two weeks about someone crossing the threshold. That's as much hint I will give you while not outing him without his permission.

On yesterday’s Q400:hop from YYC to YEG I saw my first yellow FlyerTalk bag tag. During the walk across the tarmac in YEG I asked the holder if they were doing EYW and indeed they were.
Very quick introductions were done but unfortunately in the hustle and bustle of my car rental pickup I forget the FTer’s name. As fate would have it, I met the same FTer walking back across the tarmac again this morning in YEG but that didn’t help me with name recognition. <insert face palm emoji>
This would be my first random ‘met along the way’. Note to self, next time work harder to remember the name of the person you just met.

Sitting in the cafe this morning as I was munching on some snacks, I see this shady AF trolling character walk in and stand at the large table across from where I was seated. I don't think much of it until he whispers my name... I look up and give a good look, and the fartlicker troll is none other than Sean Peever 
The SOB didn't bring my mail with him. What's up with that.
All kidding aside, it was nice to see him and chat before I had to hop onto my flight. ^

For what it’s worth, I was just as surprised to see you too. I almost didn't even go to the cafe, to be honest. Very glad I did. Had I known you would be around, I would have checked if you had mail.
Ps: thanks for the corner spot!

The guy sitting next to me on the plane tonight was definitely browsing FT at times. Seemed like a decent guy, albeit somewhat FOTSG. I didn't ask his name, but maybe I'll bump in to him again at some point.

Ran into cedric at the YVR Dom MLL yesterday. I was fresh off AC18, and he was about to takeoff on ac118. Those yellow FT tags sure help. Maybe I should get one.

Guy next me on the plane was watching me post on FT. Seemed like a decent guy, albeit somewhat DYKWIA.

Bumped into cooleddie in the YVR Dom MLL... well, it was sooner than that (at security), but he didn't say anything to me and I didn't realize it was him
We also happened to be on the same flight.

Ran into RangerNS in the YHZ MLL today. Saw the Gimli Glider tag on his bag when he was walking in, I knew it had to be an FTer.
The only person who has ever commented on mine was an AC Captain.
