Name a Doper you appreciate and a sentence or 3 why this is so…
Let’s get started:
I have favorites. You know who you are.
But I really appreciate ‘Nelliebly’
Always encouraging and friendly. Pleasantly easy to chat with. Thank-you, Nellie

The obvious one is you, **Beckdawrek**. You make me laugh. As it is so often said, Life’s a bitch, and then you die. Well, in between the two, I intend on laughing as much as possible.
**DorkVader** makes me laugh. **nelliebly** certainly makes me laugh.
Countless others make me laugh, but I haven’t had even a full cup of coffee yet, so most of the brain cells are still asleep.
I come to the SDMB to laugh, to be educated, always to be entertained!

I appreciate **Aspenglow** for her wise, witty and well-informed posts, and **Vinyl Turnip** for consistently making me laugh.

Wow, thank you. I have tears in my eyes, I’m so moved. Of course, you’re at the top of my and many others’ lists, Beck, a plucky gal with a great sense of humor and an excellent shootin’ eye.
But I have to say, there are so many people here on the Dope that I appreciate, not just in the MPSIMS but elsewhere, that I don’t think I could pick another one out without feeling bad that someone I didn’t mention wouldn’t get the appreciation he/she/they deserve. Odds are, if you’re a Doper and you’re reading this, I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

**Gatopescado** is a bud. If we didn’t live so freakin far apart, we’d prolly hang out a lot. Dogs, too!
**Beck** is impressive: she came on here not too long ago and by force of personality carved out a huge niche for herself. Make no mistake, she’ll own this dump some day.

I often find myself feeling that **Beck** didn’t just enter the SDMB; rather, she blew the door open and took it by storm. I’m glad she did; I enjoy her contributions and think they add a lot to our community. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: **Beck** , though you haven’t been here that long, you are definitely a Doper.
My thanks also extend to **Northern Piper** , for reasons he knows. I will say that his legal posts are always educational, and his family posts are often hilarious–the “glitter palace” indeed.
**Elendil’s Heir** is another favourite poster. I’ve learned a lot from him too. Thanks, **EH**!

Thx for all the kind words. If you looked into my window and saw how quiet and shy I really am you wouldn’t believe I’m the same beckdawrek. I’ve truly found a voice on the Dope. (Quit the snickering in the peanut gallery or I’ll break out in a big, loooooong thread about the lil’wrekkers wardrobe woes.)
I have formed, thought about and had real opinions. It’s amazing. Never believed that would’ve ever happened, in my life. I’m the quintessential wallflower.
This thread didn’t really go as I planned. They never really do, do they? Go figure. You Dopers never cease to amaze, entertain and teach me.
I love you guys.

Hummmmm,
Lessee…well, **Beck, VOW** of course, my best buds on here. **Panache, Spoons, Dropzone** one utter new person who seems pretty cool at first blush and is rockin a really cool name is **Die Capacitrix** and I think [del]I’ll be able to suck her into my delusion[/del] she’s going to fit in nicely around here(she’s making PIES this week y’all!) Beyond that wow I dunno so many that don’t seem to be around as much these days

Guessing this thread has a high view count already from all the Dopers poking in, looking for their own name, going “Hmph” and backing out in a snit.
I’m not naming my favorites, because I have a terrible memory and would keep going, “Oh, I forgot so-and-so, shit!”
Side note: if not taken yet, “so-and-so” would make a pretty good username.

These popularity contests never go very well, IME here.

I didn’t mean for it to be a popularity contest. Just an appreciation thread. Ah, well.
I’ve gotten so much from folks on the Dope and I appreciate many.
Just wanted to spread the love, alittle. (:))

I vote you Most Popular too, Beck. You really are a prolific poster and your threads are always fun to read.
Can I sit with the cool kids at lunch now? No? OK, I’ll just shuffle back to the geek table.

The cool kids are the geeks, nerds, dorks, and a clever funny guy (my favorite, btw)
You’re welcome Riverhippie! Pull up a chair.
