How many hours have the rest of us lurkers contributed to this list compared to the More Power Boys? And like it says below, these people take the time to answer ANY question us newbies have when we could look it up in the archives. If I had to make a choice between the "techies" and the not so well informed (me included), I pick the techies because without them , we would still be picking our noses and scratching our butts. :-)
