Mark Clark -- who loves music in the same way, and for many of the same reasons I do. He has more zest for life than any 60-year-old I've ever met. The anti-cynic. He has a positive outlook on life and it's infectious.

Mary from Kentucky -- actually reads my posts (the poor woman). I'm told that she's NOT "sweet". Alright then, she's a bitchin' babe. She has a positive outlook on life and it's infectious.

M Ted -- few have, over the five years I've participated here, given more, or more detailed information on guitar. If anyone has given more it might be...

Mooh -- definitely a no-nonsense persona, but always stops short of "curmudgeon". A veritable encyclopedia of stringed instrument knowledge.

catspaw -- to me, the personification of the best of mudcat humor, the best of mudcat banter. Has a positive outlook on life and it's infectious.

Jeri -- great observations without entanglement. Great sense of humor. I like how obviously musical she seems.

Stilly River Sage, Magrath of Harlow, robomatic Debate hard and debate fair. Especially SRS brings something to the discussion -- a good mind and an interesting perspective.

DougR Cool head, warm heart. Nobody here has ever faced such open contempt with such grace.

Bee-Dubya-Ell As catspaw has tapered his participation here, BWL has put a similarly friendly, warped sense to the humor here.

Ebbie -- even if I disagree with her, the right things seem to matter to her.
