                  Dude! I just noticed you are closing in on 2M. It seems like you just turned the 1M corner, but a check on you profile indicates that was in early 2014. It has been a weird couple of years for me - time has been both flying by and crawling along for me.

                    A quick look at the rep graph says "probably end of 2017 / early 2018" if I continue at the current rate. Unfortunately, Chris still refuses my offers to convert them to cold hard cash, despite a very favorable exchange rate and an offer of his choice of currency... :laugh:

                      Hmm. Now that the Zimbabwean Dollar has been cancelled, the best (worst) exchange rate that I can find is that Cambodian Riel (KHR) - ~4000 KHR / 1 USD. If we convert your points at a rate of 1 sen/point (*), Chris would only be out less than USD 5.00. Sounds like a bargain to me! (*) 1 American Airlines point is worth about 1.5 US cents, so 1 CP point should be worth 1 sen (== 0.01 Riel).

                      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
