Who is your favorite TE contributer?

Mine is Schluep.

Everything he writes is very well written and full of great points and perspectives. He is very fair looks at both sides of a topic, unless there is someone grossly out of line and he needs to bring them back to reality in a hurry.

I picture his avatar soaring above the forum waiting for a thread to get out of line so he can swoop in and get it back on track.

Just my .02

Where does my Beaver rate in terms of ugliness?

Well, dang. I didn't know we were the kind of forum that talked about each others' beavers. . .

This is the ugliest beaver I ever saw:

shednik

Wow thats one ugly beaver!!

I am actually not to concerned if I get mentioned or not, but I am curious what kind of award you would give me. Perhaps the sexiest TE member? j/k

Uhh, yeah, that's what all the girls here say about you.... I, uhhh, guess....

Sexiest (in his own mind) TE member: sthomas :P

Oooh pick me! Pick me! I need the attention.

The award for the nicest guy who could have flamed me but didn't when I jumped on his post thinking he was jumping on someone else when he really wasn't: undomiel

Woohoo!!! Nobody will be able to take that reward from me 'cause you don't see sprkymrk jumping over just anyone!

You know now that I look over that post again it really was easy to think it was directed at KGhaleon instead of HP. Sorry KGhaleon!

sprkymrk: Award for posting the most times without ever being the 2nd one to get in the topic (look through his posts, its real!)

So on the topic of rewards who would win the reward for the most technical questions asked not leading to a conclusive answer?

Thank you, thank you very much. (bows)
I'd like to thank my mother for raising me in a good home and always being there for me. I'd like to thank all my friends who made this day possible. And I'd like to thank.... hey, is this mic turned on? Hello? Testing, 1,2,3....

Oh, don't worry. We'll let this one slip. Next time, though. . . ZING! :P

And JDMurray wins. His is the ugliest beaver I've ever seen. (But special, in its own unique way.)

HeroPsycho

"Nice beaver!"
"Thanks, I just had it stuffed!"

(Naked Gun)

dynamik

JD also gets the most shameless plug for out-of-print book designation. Maybe it's still floating around eBay as a collector's item.

Slowhand

Plugs and beavers, oh my. . .
Ever notice how oddball jokes can take topics in weird directions?

Still, I'm very impressed with how this thread has stayed away from flaming and been kept in the spirit of friendly banter, despite the potential for egos to clash and bad blood to boil up.

Silver Bullet

Wow, this list could be long. I've seen quite a few good posters come through these forums and the reason they come is because of the environment that Webmaster and Mods have created.

Great job TE.

Ahriakin

Not that I think anyone is losing sleep over it but the reason I haven't contributed to this post is as some have said it's too easy to miss folks, and where do you draw the line? Obviously it all starts with Johan and the works down through the various mods but a forum like this cannot exist without quality members all around, even with strong moderation enough malcontents can destroy a forum. TE is absolutely the best knowledge center on the web, imho, for the wealth of info. and the attitude of the mods/members. Kudos all.

Ps. Sprky is there an award for most Irish Cisco nut?

Maybe we're all just so secure with who we are, we don't have to anonymously bash people on the internet in order to feel better about ourselves.

and/or

We're smart enough to know the moment we brag about how we know more than someone else, ten other people will come out and say, "We know things you don't."

Personally, I really don't take myself too seriously, and I couldn't care less about making a list like this (not that I don't appreciate the kind words). I'm just looking for intelligent conversations and basic respect, and I haven't had a problem finding either here.

It's really interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on this subject. I actually like Schluep's ability to "ramble on with a long post". I can find the syntax for some command with Google. I love hearing about others real-world experiences. That's stuff I can't find in a textbook. That just goes to show you, everyone has something to offer somebody.

I hear ya, brother. If I don't get at least two more mentions before the thread dies, I'm crawling into a bottle and never coming out.

This kind of thread really puts things into perspective, when you think about it. Now that I've discovered that people actually read the insane drivel that I write, I really should think about using a spell-checker, or something. (The drunken rambling will continue, of course. I'd hate to disappoint.)

FYI: You had already had 2 when you posted that

Very well said. You are correct in that people here all have so much to offer. A combination of entirely different levels of education, experience, knowledge, and certification makes it so that depending on where we are at certain posters may be better in a position to help us. For example, someone not planning to be involved at all with Security might not appreciate (or even be reading) the medical or coke analogies that Keatron makes (or one of his stories creating a duplicate smart card by standing next to them), but greatly appreciates the help from someone who just got their CCNA and can explain something they couldn't understand while studying for their own. Even people not planning to offer something but just coming to learn can often be exactly what someone needs when they come here with a question.

Now, to get back on a less serious note again, who thinks dynamik was trying to get some more +1's with that highly insightful post in the midst of this thead?

Why yes, I was just about to award that when I saw your post! :P

Most Irish Cisco Nut award: (drum roll please)....................... Ahriakin

sprkymrk

And on a sincere note......

I have seen a number of very impressive and insightful posts by these members recently (and in the past) and would like to award them at this time:

Most sensible and insightful (even if sometimes longwinded): Slowhand and Schluep

And...

Someone "I would like to mention but can't think of why" award: Silver Bullet (Maybe just because it's a cool name).

Why thank you, sprkymrk. I still think you're nuts for sitting and reading all the way through my rambling.
