I really enjoy \*\*KaylasDad’s \*\*contributions to the mini-rants threads. They’re always sympathetic and witty at the same time. \*\*MandaJO \*\*always has good advice and makes wonderful analogies. She must be a fabulous teacher. If \*\*Colibri \*\*or \*\*Stranger \*\*or \*\*Sailboat \*\*or \*\*Qagdop \*\*or \*\*Blake \*\*says something, I believe it’s true. And I just really like reading what **monstro** , **Olives** , **WhyNot** , and \*\*MeanOldLady \*\*have to say. ---

Special thanks to the mini-ranters each month in the Pit. Reading (and even helping) them makes my problems seem more mini. ---

I can’t really pick favorites. We’re a great team here. Even the idiots are useful because they give us a chance to either educate or ridicule, both of which are fun! ---

All of you. Every. Single. Damn. One. of You! You make this place fun and interesting and more like “home” than a website. The intelligence, the wit, the arguments, the feuds? Oh Dear Og, add canned spinach and crappy meatloaf & I’d SWEAR I grew up here… ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > \*I like Indistinguishable for another reason which is that he seems incapable of not editing a post, so I make it into a game and award myself a point any time I notice a post by him and there’s no edited line. **Indistinguishable** is the only poster I know of who regularly replies to his own posts. And he’s capable of making valuable contributions to mathematical threads on all levels, from the simple to the incomprehensibly abstruse. > [@BetsQ](#): > > \*\*MandaJO \*\*always has good advice and makes wonderful analogies.

> [@Zebra](#): > > Well I’m going to thank **olivesmarch4th** for her posts. Not only helpful but illuminating and almost frightfully honest about herself.

You make this place fun and interesting and more like “home” than a website. When I talk to people in meatspace, it’s really hard for me not to constantly say, ‘‘So, on this message board where I post…’’ It’s pretty much a daily ritual for me to give my husband a rundown of the board drama. Is this sad? It might be sad. But I don’t think I care anymore. > [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > You beat me to it. Everything **Manda JO** posts is full of wisdom.

Another vote for **Ambivalid.** There are few people in this world whom I would like to sit down and have a drink with, and Jamie is one of them. I sincerely miss **melodyharmonius**. I don’t know where she is it why she left, but I miss her tremendously. **Olivesmarch4th**. More than anyone, she has made me realize I am not alone in my depression and that I can find ways to cope. I owe a lot of my sanity to her, and I’m so grateful she’s a part of this board. In fact, she is likely my favorite poster. **rachelellogram.** Down-to-earth and gives some good advice. Another person I would like to sit and visit with for a while. **Skald**. Obviously. Who doesn’t like Skald? ---

I’ve felt connected to, or especially appreciative of, some of the following: Wombat, John Mace, Ekers, Hentor, Ender, Colibri, and Cymk. Most of you guys will probably have no idea of why, or when…Often it wasn’t even any direct interaction, just admiring the contributions as you’ve offered them.
