Certain posters are so damn insightful and/or funny that virtually every post is a gem. My personal favorites are: **Libertarian** – brevity is the soul of wit **Elucidator** – truth in a nom de plume **Stoid** – liberal minus the bleeding heart **Scylla** – consistently funny and twisted (he’s also a Republican, but no one’s perfect) **Chronos** – the physics tutor I always needed **Guinastasia** – has yet to say anything I didn’t find entirely sensible These were the first to come to me, but there are lots more I love to read. ---

I have lots of ones I really like reading. There are really too many to name, however lately I have been taking special note of **cjhoworth**. I like her special breed of insightfulness. ---

Yep, **cj** ’s a smart lady. **Polycarp** and **Triskadecamus** also come to mind. ---

Hmm. I’m so bad with people’s names. The one who immediately comes to mind as a gem, no matter what the subject, is FairyChatMom. There are two Daves I get confused - one is DAVEWOO and the other is… umm… uhh… Well, I can’t remember his exact user name, but I like both of them. BEAGLEDAVE! For attention-getting thread titles, Eve and Scylla. There are an awful lot of posters who are not coming to my mind right now, but I enjoy so many posters here. ---

I like Coldfire’s posts. And I even like lieu’s bathroom humour 🙂 And I like the way that the mods deal with jerks in a way that entertains me. Hmm… I also like Lib as long as it isn’t a post about religion, and I like Ultrafilter’s as well… all I can think of at the moment… well except for ladydisco, elenfair, and all the other people coming to Ottadope 😉 ---

Over the past year I have been reading the greatest I have seen have been Libertarian, Polycarp, and Mangetout. ---

I’m partial to **Tars Tarkas** , **vivalostwages** , and **Kn\*ckers**. I bet no one can guess the common thread there. :rolleyes: 😃 ---

Any thread by FairyChatMom is guaranteed to be a good read. Other favorites are CrankyAsAnOldMan, Guin, Polycarp, LindyHopper, lieu, Zev\_Steinhardt, Eve. I know I’ve forgotten to mention about 30,000 others. My apologies for that. ---

I rarely notice names while reading the boards, so the fact that **lieu** spring to mind means something, I’m sure. There was also this guy **jjtm** who always cracked me up, dunno what happened to him. ---

Whatever happened to **clairobscur**? I think that was the spelling. Seemed to be the only French perspective. Usually interesting. ---

The recently rare **Nostradamus** posts are wonderful reading. In a different style, the recently arrived **2trew** has been showing an interesting wit. Oh, and about 95% of the ones already named are enjoyable also. ---

Leaving asside the golden-oldie posters, I allways enjoy **NoClueBoy** ’s posts that I have come accross. **FairyChatMom** is always good to read as well. (Not saying others aren’t of course) ---

**Hamadryad** both terrifies me (pit threads) and intrigues me (all other forums). Never skip one of her posts. ---

Aw, thanks. I won’t say, because I can’t hurt feelings. I don’t want to do that. (And I really don’t have favorites. I like pretty much everyone I get along with). ---
