I would like to nominate bobtomay. He is everywhere I go giving his knowledge in a polite way. In my opinion he is what new members come here looking for.

You mean I don't get the title forever? Well, we're going to have a problem because I refuse to give up the MoTM title. I quite enjoy the prestige and the orange tag

.

I'm going to nominate chscag. His advice is generally rational and well thought out - something I greatly appreciate and I'm sure the people he helps do as well.
