I think there was one of these not too long ago, but I don’t really remember when, so I decided to just start a new one. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love the SDMB and the sense of community it gives, even though there are more people on here than in a sizable number of small countries. Dopers regularly chat onlie outside of the boards (anybody that wants to talk to me, I promise I won’t bite), there are obviously a number of DopeFests Now, while I enjoy everybody’s amazing display of humor and intellect, I just wanted to point out a few of my favorite dopers.

**Flamesterette\_X** : Not only the birthday lady, but also a hell of a person. I love talking with you on AIM.

**Rue DeDay** and **Master Wang-Ka** : You two are probably the two funniest people alive today. You both write such amazingly well-thought out and humorous posts, it gives me something to aspire to.

All the Nationstates Dopers: Thanks for making all the countless hours there so enjoyable, and thank you for your continued support of your friendly neighborhood delegate 🙂  
These are but a few of the dopers I can think of right off-hand. I’m sure I’ll come back to add people after I feel guilty for awhile for leaving them off. Who are your most appreciated dopers?
