**CrazyCatLady**. Definitely. She’s been really helpful with pet problems that I’ve had in the past, and she’s a darn nice lady, from what I can tell. Also, **RueDeDay** , **AirmanDoors** and **MsRobyn** , **Scylla** and a whole bunch of others. I’ll second **Euty** as well. Big apologies to anyone whose username I’ve bungled. ---

I like the guys that most don’t: The Broken Column, former member december, and Chumpsky. Don’t agree with them but they are (or were) fun. ---

Thanks for the kudos, folks, but as you can see I’ve already bought my membership. Now, if they want to issue me a refund… 😉 Esprix ---

There are a lot of people whose posts I’ve enjoyed over the years, but I’d like to group together **Scylla** , **Fenris** , **erislover** (formerly **aynrandlover** ), and **Sofa King** as four posters whose posts not only inspired me to register here originally, but also kept me coming back after several periods of not reading the SDMB. ---

Eve, for her humor. Libertarian, for his posts which I STILL cannot understand, but like him anyway. Diogenes the Cynic, he’s just great. Seige and Polycarp, for being Chrsit-like and non judgmental, unlike the nasty folks who dislike them. NoClueBoy, whom I will someday marry(kidding) Esprix, for being a classic. Homebrew, for trying to get thru to the homophobes. I Know I’ve forgotten some, but fill-in-your-name-here! ---

**Scylla** must stay, at all costs. ---

**EddyTeddyFreddy**. For so many reasons, not the least of which being that she rocks. **Sanguine Spider** Likewise. ---

**Scylla** for calling elmo a “furry red turd” **jarbabyj** for loving Archie comix like me and for “tit wrench” and “cock holster” **Eve** for writing such cool books and contributing such interesting Golden Age information. ---

Damn, I was gonna nominate **jarbabyj**! X27 you bastard! Also **terrorcotta** for semi-secret reasons **Dewey Cheatem Undhow** and **minty green** for legal reasons. Thanks to them, I’m spending the year being dead as a tax writeoff! **John Mace** **Sam Stone** and other conservatives so I’ll have someone to argue with. ---
