open appreciation thread

[The Straight Story]

In the heat of the primary season I thought it might be nice to have an appreciation thread where we could give a kick to the many fine DU'ers we have come to know and enjoy.

Add your own, and here are some of mine.

CaliforniaPeggy - the den mother of the DU lounge, and a wonderful poet to boot.

JeffR and NanceGreggs - two folks who keep me coming back for more each day, and especially on Friday to see the Duzy's.

SwampRat - that guy can pull scary graphics out of his ass on a moments notice.

EmilyG - quiet and reserved, but on target. She does not post many OP's, but she pops up everywhere :)

OMC - all over the place and kicking threads with his own brand of arguing. A yin to the yang of many folks, and I find myself agreeing with him often.

kpete - 'nuff said. One helluva an activist and poster.

L. Coyote - Rarely a day goes by and you have not educated me on something.

Mythsaje - your best writing is not your fictional work, it is what you post here.

CatWoman - Who does not know her. She is a fixture here.

And of course....

AutumnMist - My wife (whose pic I keep as my sig). You don't post much, but you always put a smile on my face ;)

And so many others - from Donsu to Blackhatjack to babylonsister and so many more.

You have all kept me coming back here for more, and kept this a wonderful place to read and post.

I know I left off a lot of names of folks I appreciate here - which is where you come in.

Whom do you enjoy reading here?
