Best thread poster for 2001?

I think that we are blessed with a lot of very helpful and courteous individuals here. I feel honored to contribute amongst all of you and hope that you know this. Other than those already mentioned and you who have contributed to this thread, i'd like to mention our friends overseas Ken and Detlof, some Texan named Bob Crump and a multitude of others that share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. As mentioned previously, i too miss the contributions of RedKiwi. The diversity of ideas, experiences and points of view are what makes this a well rounded forum. Sean

please allow me to echo sean's excellent points. i, too, am honored to be a part of this forum and to share a bit of myself, as all who post here share of themselves. one important contributor to these threads and to the whole of audiogon, who so far's not been mentioned, is arnie chinta, a/k/a audiogon_arnie. he has had the patience, grace and good sense to allow these discussions to continue thru good times and bad this past year.

may 2002 be for all of us a better year than 2001. -kelly

I have to go with Kelly as well. Just when I least expect it, his twisted sense of humor drops me to the floor.

Tireguy: Thank you!

Sc53: I would love to take the credit for that, but I am pretty sure you are talking about Tekunda. I agree with you on the job he did, and I commend him as well.

I enjoy the honestry, the passion and the expertise....I have a lot to learn, and much I'll never understand. I really appreciate the chance to pick other peoples' brains. But mostly its the passion, the love of the music....but there are times I'm simply in awe. Everyone Sean mentioned I read. Yes, and Sean too. The viewpoints are food for thought. Happy new year. Here's to 2002. May it be even better than we may imagine.

Agree with all the above nominees. Have to add Sdcampbell to the list. Besides making well thought out, articulate contributions in general, his incredible input to the thread "Jazz Recommendations" (surely a Hall of Fame thread) alone make him a candidate.

We're fortunate to have all of these guys (and gals).
