Oh my. This would be a very long list.

I can start with the first Flyertalkers I met:

Catman - who started me down this road when I met him; newself, and vulcan at the CO presidents Club way back when in September 2000.

-Most memorable...Can't even begin to tell you 'cause there are so many.

-Cutest... No way will I even consider getting into trouble on this one.

-Flyertalker that really went out of their way for me - (a long list I can assure you).

-A short list of Flyertalkers who've invited me/us into their homes.

-All those that have been on the dhammer53 Brooklyn Reality Tour.

-My partner in crime cawhite

-Fellow Brooklyn Flyertalkers

-Fellow foodies.

I had not finished my list yet — and I have not even begun to add more comments!

None of you were last nor least nor not memorable — trust me on this one!

I am amazed at how many FlyerTalk members I have actually met! I did not even think that the list would be as long as it is!

I also like the different ways different FlyerTalk members are compiling their lists, whether chronologically, alphabetically or by — well, whatever dhammer53 was doing there...

I do have to wonder, however — which FlyerTalk member has met the most FlyerTalk members of all in person? I am almost certain the answer is not Randy Petersen...

That makes either 30 or 31, depending on how I count the koko matt.

Just wait — someone will post that he/she has been listed in someone else’s milepost erroneously and has actually never met that FlyerTalk member...

Sorry, Robot Doctor, while every experience with you makes me feel like I am flying, I honestly don't remember having flown (on an airplane) with you. Did I?

My brain is sooooooooooo old.

I have met several hundred people and couldn't begin to know where to start but most of the ones listed above I have met at one time or another.

I have my favorite FTers I could list but I wouldn't want to miss someone and get myself in trouble.

Kathy how did you find all of those names it must have taken you all day to research it.

I've only been to three DO's thus far but have plans for a whole lot more in the future, trust me!
Interestingly enough, two other FT'ers have been at all three DO's that I've attended.
Ms. Everywhere, which shouldn't surprise me considering her handle, and belle3388, who I've always been meaning to ask about the significance of the "3388". I'm sure it's a secret code for something exotic.
I've met individual FT'ers on many "non-DO" occasions and it's always a treat.

Oops, you are right. I was thinking of the meeting the FTer not Flying with a FTer that you posted.

Altho I've been reading and posting on FT almost since the beginning, we really never attended a Meet or a Do until about a year ago. In that time, we have met so many great people that (with an admiring nod to KathyWdrf) it is would be prohibitively difficulty to compile a list now. You know who you are and we have enjoyed the company of each and every one of you.

You have been long forgiven. Who in the world could ever hold a grudge against one of the sweetest guys that we have ever known? We are hoping to meet you again soon and move you up from the white anchovies and lobster to maybe truffles, escargot , and calamari.
To know Canarsie is to love him.

I won't even attempt to put a list together... I'm well over 300 at this point and would inadvertently leave someone off. I have had some amazing times with various FTers though - and its always worth meeting more!

Any numbers that start with 1,2,3,6 and 8 or a combination thereof will always sound lucky. To achieve a feeling of health and prosperity you can choose numbers from these combinations and you cannot go wrong, especially well if you can balance the yin and yang numbers in their combinations. For example 3388 or 1618 and 1328 are all very auspicious, because they have a combination of two yin numbers and two yang numbers, so they are considered balanced and ritually correct, in harmony with each other.

And this known by me because I asked ding, I mean belle.
