The Unofficial Poster of the Year 2005 by way of vote

Mike, I hate to sound like a nit-picker, but your numbers are off.Yaro, for example, was nominated earlier this month for a POTM for one of the most brilliant analogies I've ever encountered.Ahem. And my total is shy 1: not a big deal, but the notches carved in my PC don't lie I'm still contemplating my own vote.We have an embarrassment of wealth here. I would find it hard to argue with any of the nominations posted so far.

I was tempted to agree with Mammuthus, bowing out with the observations that I've only been here a few months, and that there are just too many good posters. As I noted above, a strong case can be made for every nomination in this thread.But the quality and quantity of RAZD's posts stand out. I agree with him often; when I don't, I can understand and respect his position.RAZD supports his positions more thoroughly than most, providing not only vigorous thought but a wealth of citations and links as well. In some threads, his heavy lifting in rebutting drive-through obscurantists left me in awe of his energy, esp. after I saw he has a few miles on his odometer Holmes and RAZD were a coin toss apart: everything I've said of RAZD, I could say of Holmes, but Holmes helped me to decide with his own vote.Congratulations to everyone, Admins strongly included. EvC is a remarkable forum.
