Randy,
FlyerTalk has, as it has for so many of us, changed and enriched our lives forever. It is difficult to state how all our lives have been so much improved by our experiences here. From new friends, new adventures, sharing the love and joys of travel, improving the travel experience for us all, and the daily fun here, thank you truly for imagining, creating and nurturing our online (and in part, real life) community. We together have turned our interests and time into something much much greater: a place for those who love to travel and how to share that love.
Best of luck in life's next endeavors for you and yours.

Randy, thank you for everything that you have done. Your knowledge, expertise, and FT helped me so much when I first started flying. I am here to help repay all those people including you for all the great information I received.
I wish you well in your "new" life.

good luck my friend
Hey Randy. Your creation and generosity have improved the lives of many, especially mine. Thanks for all the help over the years and good luck with what's next. I'll never forget the time you and I sat next to each other on the Concorde! I've got great pic of you in the cockpit at the end of that flight-- but can't figure out how to upload on here....
Take care,
Chris M

Thank you for opening us to the possibilities in life
Change happens. We don't always like mergers or departures. But change is always a part of our lives. Best of luck in all that you do. I don't think that you will be able to be in an airport where someone won't recognize you and your warm friendship. I found your friendship the moment I walked into the LH JFK lounge. You saw an unfamiliar face and came to welcome me in. I will always remember that.
With Flyertalk you have open me up to the possibilities of life, especially in the discovery of new places, cultures and friends via international air travel.
Thank you and safe travels through life's journeys.

Randy,
It honestly brings tears to my eyes to read of your leaving. I wish you happiness and light in your future endeavors. FlyerTalk means so much to me and it is hard to explain to non-FTers why. Thank you for providing such a great experience for all of us over the years. It is hard to imagine FT without you.

Randy, the Thank yous are all for you in giving us FlyerTalk! It's hard right now to imagine FT without your guidance but I do respect your desire for change and moving on. May the wonder and joy of travel always be yours.

Randy,
Thank you for creating this site, this community. I lurked here for years before my first post, now I spend more time here that anywhere else in cyberspace. I hope to express my gratitude in person one day.

Thank you for everything you've done for me and the other members of the FT community.
Other than wishing to convey my thanks for all that you've done to enrich our lives, this development has left me at a loss for words.
