I consider BC something very close to a liberal arts degree course with heavy doses of economics and history and spiced with science and good old fashioned humor.

M/C slays me. Every post she makes takes me back to Harvey Korman on the Carol Burnett show.

LL3 is simply one of the unsung heroes that goes about doing the right thing without fanfare and blowing his own horn. His posts are always well thought out and presented in an easy to follow manner. Truly a top 2%er.

Buddy Larsen amazing and funny. Has helped me keep from losing what little I have by pointing me in directions I hadn’t even thought of. Thanks! I owe you a frosty one.

People whom I always read. In no particular order.
Mongoose, Old Salt, Whiskey (Although he gets very, very tedious at times), Konyok, LotM, Sabotai Bahadur?, Cannoneer, Habu, Peterike, Doug, Marymcl, Wadeusaf, steveaz, programmer, blert, bogie wheel and many many more people who by just being around them in the digital class room that is Belmont Club make me much more intelligent and a better person.

I saved the best for last. This guy has made me laugh and cry ever since I read his first post. Smart and smooth. I would like to nominate this post #9 with a bullet from the Tin foil hats thread.

Walt you are THE MAN in my not so humble opinion. Here is to you! Huzzzaaaah!
