Thank you for creating FlyerTalk, Randy!

i can only add my own thanks and gratitude for what you created. I hope that whatever/wherever your next destination may be, that you get there in first class, with multiple upgrades. We will miss you for sure!

Randy,

Thanks for everything and Godspeed.

Best wishes for your future endevours and happy travels, Randy.

I hope we will still see you around on FT.

Best wishes Randy. Because of you I have spent well over probably a month of my life FT-ing. And it's not getting any better. :D Seriously, thanks.

Thank you for the gift that is this community Randy... Good luck and hope you still continue to contribute.

Thank you for all you've done Randy. Flyer Talk is responsible for some major, positive, changes in my life and I'll always be grateful to it and feel like it's part of my family - even when it drives me insane!!!

Good luck for the future and all you do.

As someone whose first FT post was a scant 8 days after your first post here all I can say is, Randy, thank you, thank you, thank you! ^

Randy,

Thanks for creating such a wonderful, informative, caring, and sharing community. FT has helped me go on experiences with my family that I would've have previously thought impossible and given me a lot of knowledge to enjoy travel and become my favorite website. With all the knowledge I've learned here I've been able to help others enhance their travel experiences. I've worked in a lot companies where they talk about intellectual capital and knowledge management etc. and this is a prime example of how a community can thrive, continue to improve, grow, and have a place for everyone to become a meaningful contributor.

Good luck on your next adventure!

Very sad to hear this, Randy, but I wish you nothing but health and happiness in the coming years. :) You are truly one-of-a-kind, and will be sorely, sorely missed here.

Randy--Thanks for creating such a great place for frequent flyers and travelers, in general, to come together and share information and get questions answered. FT has helped many make traveling easier and more enjoyable, and has been a place where some (including me) have developed friendships with others in the FT community.

Good luck in the future with whatever endeavors you become involved.

Cheers, atl runner (Delta Forum)

Randy, finding this site while doing a Google search for a trip to London changed my travel habits a great deal. Learning how to play the miles and points game has allowed me to travel like I'm rich. (I'm far from it!)

Thanks for having the vision to start this site and keep it running. I'll miss your fair and reasonable leadership. I hope your moving on doesn't mean you'll never drop in here.

We all know how hard flying can be and at the same time the number of benefits that are available to a FF but not really known. FT has become the FF's bible.

Unlike today when I am flying nearly 150K per year for mostly personal, back in the 1990s I was flying for business. I was told where to go and the flight booked for me. If only I was able to know then what I know now from FT.

Randy,

Thank you for the chance to see the world I never would have thought possible.

I have made many friendships from Flyertalk but also from all of my travels made possible by this site.

I remember when I told my friends of my upgrade to FC because the flight was overbooked. Now, I'm spoiled when I missed out on them.

Thank you for the memories and the experience. You have changed my life ^

You have completely changed the way I travel. Prior to FlyerTalk, I had never considered mattress runs or selecting flights in order to maximize miles.

With gratitude and best wishes,
