This post of mine is not exactly carefully thought out, but here goes...

I can really speak for who is most knowledgeable, obviously there are a few people who are very knowledgable in their own way. The following people get props from me. If I've left you out, it means nada.

CMM, for knowing his stuff, for making his posts interesting, for imparting his enthusiasm whether the topic is boxing, sex, or whatever.

ICB, for being objective in threads that are wide open to subjectivity

Diane, for sense of humor, the good ones are always taken, dammit.

Bilbo, for keeping me interested, for the occasional wickedly funny quip, and doing a decent job of supporting his opinions, wacky though they sometimes may be.

Top Thread. Too many to mention.

Honorable Mention: To Saddo , for keeping this place going, providing us with lots of entertainment free of charge.

There are lots more posters that have gone unmentioned. All the best for 2009.
