andy8758 10 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Been here for a few months now, and some of you posters really impress me.As a solo spark I sometimes get stumped and I can either find a previous post to answer my Q or make a new post - and someone nearly always comes up trumps. And quite often, the best advice comes from a select buynch of dedicated forum posters (you sure you guys actually find time to work?) and have come up with a shortlist of those who IMHO have excelled.Agree or disagree? You want to nominate anyone else? Lets run the poll to the end of the month - and if anyone wants to nominate others (bear in mind restriction on number of poll options we can have) - we could re-post this later. Oh and this is just a bit of fun - many others on here are very valuable too - dont want to diss anyone. My favourite? I guess Special Location has impressed me most - some of his technical answers leave me wondering how much time he spends sitting on the loo reading technical manuals - lol!So Merry Xmas to evryone on here who posts - some of you get thanked more than others - but this place has been a valuable resource for me personally, so Cheers!!

M107 891 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Doh who to choose!!Well for my part I'd if possible stick a tick in all the boxes, as all have in some way passed on knowledge that I never knew or had forgotten & even corrected me (made me see the errors of my ways ) & of course patch for the ever ready nimble fingers for posting the quick links.I have to say I do enjoy the banter the no fuss straight to the point advice thats given here, all done with out belittling any individual who asks a question.... so with that said (and because I can only pick one) I remembered on of GH's posts about no question being a daft question (because new forum members new to the industry were worried about asking simple questions at the time) so for that reason GH has my vote. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course Admin and Admin 2 are disqualified from being nominated - its a bit like BBC employees winning BBC competitions..... on the other hand maybe we should include them both then 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admin 2,508 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 I know Theory, He should have added me to the list. BlushingOn a Serious note though, more names should have been added to the Poll.And maybe, rather than "Forum Spark of the Year 2009" - we could have "Best Forum Advisor(s) of the YEar 2009"?If Andy wants me to re-do the Poll, I will. And make it Multiple choice. - The problem is that everyone will have to re-vote. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy8758 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Admin - happy foryou to re-poll - I did indicate in my original post that not only is this a bit of fun, but that my perception of best posting peeps may need some adjustment. My real point here is that I know I am not alone in recognising that some of the posters on this forum are highly valued - not just in the advice they give, but in their willingness to devote a considerable amount of time answering posts from people like me (more likely to receive advice than to give it!!).So rather than just post my thanks - lets have an equivalent of the Sports Personality of the Year - i.e. Spark Personality of the Year! When I startd this, I was unsure how controversial the idea would be - not necessarily about who was nominated (even the Nobel Prize nominations are controversial!!) but whether people on here actually wanted to take part. I am pleased to see a fair bit of interest, so it may be a good time to re-poll, taking off perhaps those not getting votes, and adding a couple who might get votes!
