Bone-sigh Had a great idea for patting people on the back (I agree)
RockM Told me "you're wasting your time on that" (on another forum) more times than I care to count. I have come to value (and listen to) his input.
Will Heath For responding to more posts than most of us put together, for his input and encouragement, and for his willingness to use PM's when appropriate. Also has written many articles that are helpful for all.
FlyBri For his unique view of things and fun Australian lingo.
Ficus Jerry Whom I wish would post more often!
Walter Pall Who, although he never refers to himself as a final authority, is not often argued with when he weighs in on an issue. I am often surprised by what he has to say, and I always learn something.
Carl Bergstrom For striving for excellence and not mincing words. Also for his photographic expertise. His photos of his beautiful accents inspired me to try my own accents.
TreeBay Who generously gives his time and close attention to this site, and to the dignity and rights of its members. He is fairhanded but does not shrink from sensitive issues when he has to call one of us out. Other sites are not monitored as closely, and I really appreciate it here.
Vance Wood An impressive individual with priceless experience and knowledge with mughos.
Vance HannaA good all around artist with a level head and tactful voice.
Dale Cochoy and Stone MonkeyTwo fellow potters who generously share tips, techniques , and "how-to's" with those of us who might benefit from it, and who use pm's when appropriate..
BonsaiAlFor his long list of articles; especially the one on scroll making. I haven't tried it yet but I have most of my materials...
PootsieFor his fun-loving posts
Joanie for her level-headedness and straightforward input
Emperor FishWhose presence and refreshing posts are just very likable.
John DixonUnwavering in his particular idiom...you never wonder where he stands.
Jtriptow and JPortock whose posts I always read, and often agree with.
Grampz who has answered those nagging boxwood questions and makes me feel needed...
There are many more of you who have been helpful to me but I've already taken up too much room.
