So many . . .

Such overabundance here . . .

A great many fine posters have been mentioned, and yet it barely scratches the surface. It also doesn't address the fact that different spokespersons are good for different topics, and different audiences. Mesmerised and 28 are both good candidates, but there are occasions when someone like jd420 or Remo is needed to shake things up.

And then there are all the other positions to be occupied by the likes of LGsinmyheart, Dante, BB, Infinity, Kero, NFiH, Joey Bishop, Cirkus, Cangee, kea, Norbert, Lindsay Ashford, Febri-chan, Tamachan, moetan, Fayla, Dissident, Ammelana, Kalika, Anistasia, breedr, littleblondegirl, Dark Storms, Silver Wolfe, Hen-Wen, gater, Tafkaps, Seamus, Markaba, Trucker, shadowdweller, Eeyore, ILGO, hibikisensei, Minstrel, Newt, Neutrino, Demosthenes, Razor, Tyciol, kissbyalice, Jensman, Magneto, Nihil Aeturnius, Inygmuh, Enigma, Puzzled, zlurker, Nowhere Man, Furbydad, Looklisten, Whisper, sans25a, Love2uall, Lux, hikari, and . . . damn, there's a lot of us! I've barely scratched the surface!

I know I've left out many wonderful posters, too. There are just so many!

Not everyone is eloquent, not everyone is a great thinker, not everyone is a model of propriety. But each and every poster here is part of what makes Girl Chat great. Dissident made a post a couple weeks ago about Fayla's bravery - and I don't want to gainsay that at all - but every poster here is brave just to come here and speak the truth to a world that refuses to listen, and to each other.

I have argued with some of you, wondered about the sanity of a few of you, and we have all bickered at times - but I am honored to share this board with all of you.*
