Reference: Members list

Even without her frequent, well-placed, and illuminating references, it's clear that a lot of research (and a lot of thought) has gone into both her positions and her arguments: Lesly.

I'll second Lesly.

Let's make it a trio.

I'll also go with Lesly.

So many good ones again to pick from- Lesley is great- but we need more than one nominee- so I will go with Leder on this one as well!

Dude makes me want to go back to school just so I can get the library access...

I'm going to have to go with Nighttimer.

Every time we debate, I'm inspired to learn more about whatever subject we discuss.

Both his knowledge on various topics, as well as his added opinion makes for great contemplating.

You didn't get the memo? He's sitting this one out to give the little guys a shot at glory.


I'll vote for Mrs. P. She's always backing up her claims with solid sources

Mrs P

no question.

Woo- some heavy hitters here- Wertz is a pro-researcher IIRC, and so is NT, so they should be disqualified in the amatuer ranks

Ulitmate Joe and Entspeak are without peer, though Mrs P/DTOM comes in a close tie for third in that group.

So, I am going to have to nominate Ultimate Joe for the Amatuer venue on AD- you know, like the olympics vs Pro-football- AD is more like the olympics

The more you read posts on this board- the more you realize how really good some folks are, and it becomes harder to choose in an unbiased way the best for these categories!

Amlord.
