It's an honour to be in the same category as these swell people, truly. Special tips o' my hat to BIPM and a gilas girl, my dKos compatriots...

But my heart belongs to Meteor Blades.

No doubt Meteor Blades, a gilas girl, and Bill in Portland ME are amazing authors.

But my vote's gotta go to Maryscott O'Connor, for showing up in so many threads and injecting them with her priceless combination of intelligence, snark, and delightful profanity. :-)
