I always wonder how people who have been registered for a month or two know about him :dubious:.) Speaking for myself, I lurked here for about four months before registering, and I have read just about every threadspotting archive thread. The intact Mr. Tyler does tend to stick out. So to speak. My list, from reading the archives more than current posts: Fenris Scylla Eve CKDH Polycarp ---

**Eve DtC QtM** (and you know it’s true for both when it doesn’t take even the slightest break to comprehend initials) **OpalCat Otto** for my fifth, because for some reason he seemed to be in EVERY thread I read when I was first lurking, and I’ve always noticed him since as a result. ---

Not, it should be said, reciprocally after nominating someone else - like some people I could name - but nominated nonetheless. And how exactly, pray tell, did you come by this thread? ---
