I lurk more than I post by a long shot, but two who stand out to me but haven’t been named are **Professor Pepperwinkle** and **Chefguy** (who, technically, was named, but only by himself thus far). ---

A shout-out to **Colibri** and **Biffy the Elephant Shrew**. But I’m biased – I love Central American birds and the Beatles. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > CTL-F, “Ducca”, nope. Moving on… I was looking for your name! As much as I can’t stand popularity contests, a list like this… (list. get it?) …could never be complete without mention of resident Comedian Bob Ducca, who amuses me to the point that I feel I owe him money. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Me as well. I always feel like I’m looking for candids of myself in the high school yearbook again. Nope, same old people as always. I’m proud to have been the first person mentioned in the OP’s list. I’ve been going around all day telling people I’ve been institutionalized. ---

I’m assuming that the person who mentioned Dangermom upthread gets the two of us confused. I do sometimes…and it makes me feel better… Dangermom has been missing for a while and I wonder what happened to her. ---

In addition to those already mentioned, I’d like to add, for GQ, Pasta and Martini-Enfield, and in the Game Room, SenorBeef and VarlosZ. For all of those posters, if I find myself in disagreement with what they wrote, I immediately start examining my own arguments to see where I screwed up.
