Vote for the forum member that's helped you the most/best

I thought it might be a good idea to take a poll and see which forum member deserves top honors in helping mercedesshop forum members.

Since I can only add 10 poll questions, I'm gonna limit your choices to the top 10 posters (by volume, not quality)

Feel free to add anyone in replies to this post.

Also I would like to congratulate Larry Bible on his 10,000th post (Hoping this will be it!)

Statistically, if you've been a member long enough, currently own several ancient MBs, and are frequently tooling on your own, I'd have to say, I have a pretty even distribution of help from all of them!

Ditto.

I highly appreciate the help of ALL members who contribute their opinions or expertise on the subjects brought up to discussion, hence my vote to ALL of them!

To all of us who own W140s, it is definitely a must to mention and honor the help and insightful advice of Mr. Jim Forgione and his incredible webpage: http://pages.prodigy.net/jforgione/MB_S500.html

I really wanted to add more people to the list, but the poll only allows 10.

The reason for voting is so that there is the accountability factor,,, the more votes a person gets, the more confidence a newer member can put in to the posted response, i.e. the higher confidence in a posting,,,

I'll bet none of the members on the list has ever recommended throwing money at a problem, but rather help troubleshoot the problem down to the cause,,,

No I won't vote either. There are too many good people on the board who help out. Many may not have the wide expertise of those listed (and others), but can often help others out by recounting what they did, right or wrong, to steer others in the right direction.

Most people, by spending a little time on the board, can work out who is providing sound advice and who is talking through their bottom.

I vote for Kamil, and his Audi TT.

Seriously, I'm not voting for anyone because everyone has knowledge to share, even a high school kid who just did his first oil change.
