I nominate vanguard, who joined in September.

I don't agree with much that he says, but I think he has made a positive contribution.

I like vanguard too, and many other new posters....
but since I can pick only one newbie, I think Seamus deserves a nomination for this category.

I will second Seamus.

I also nominate Seamus.

I nominate ottimista.

I believe that The Founders Intent added some spice to the mix.

This may be a tad premature as my nominee hasn't been with us for two months yet (though he's been pretty prolific in that time), but I wouldn't get the chance next year, so I'm going to go with net2007. He's knowledgeable, unpredictable, prepared to back up his arguments pretty forcefully - and he does his research. He can be a tad snarky at times, but is otherwise shaping up to be reasonably formidable.

I second The Founders Intent

net2007

Net2007 as well. Very persistent.

I appreciate that, I dint expect my name to be mentioned here. I am often crass, blunt, and sarcastic so I tend to stir up controversy particularly in political debates from the opposing political party. I had fun debating in the """Why the United States can't win this war..""" forum while it was up. I think some good points were made there from both sides.

He has already been nominated, but Seamus is my choice.

I am nominating fbwc.
