Re: Hol...lllllly cow!
gosh
{shuffles feet}
thanks holmes.
He posts more than the others ...
RAZD's ball just seemed (for me) to stay around the top and perhaps get picked more often
Ah, the benefits of the profligate shotgun approach, eh? 6 POTM out of 4329 (with this one) is not that high a productivity percentage. Especially when you consider that I started 3/15/2004 ....
(For an early post see {PROOF against evolution} thread (Probability silliness) subtopic, msg 191 (click))
Ben was certainly one of the most inspiring for me.
Ben regularly makes me think another level deeper than I had considered, getting more to the heart of the argument in the process. I think he has been a big help as another administrator too, helping the whole forum to operate better.
But
I think that an award should be considered for the best topic of the year rather than a specific poster - it may originate with one view but through a really good debate come to some resolution from opposing viewpoints: the contributions of all posters on the thread being valuable to that end.
As a big surprise to most, I'd almost consider nominating Faith or Canadian Steve.
Without discussion the topics would be dead words, what makes a topic great is the give and take, post and riposte. RiverRat is one that comes to mind as well.
The question to me is what topics made you reconsider your position and then either validate it or change it based on the input of others?
For me that would be the {Atheist Morality} thread (click) ... where both you and ben were involved? Still considering that one.

I would concur with Mammathus on the basis of:
the number of quality posts
the total number of posts
consistently good quality, and information I go back to.
