Best/most useful contributors to the Back Room

Screwloose and elekie&a/c doc. In most days with seriously good information and advice. Thanks!
Backroom Awards 2007 - Blue {P}
In the same category I would also vote for Aprilia.

He always offers extremely useful replies to most threads with a balanced viewpoint that is like a breath of fresh air.

Great fun, RTB!

I'll avoid expressing an opinion on most of this, but would tactfully point out that Adam{P}'s "return", though undoubtedly welcome, was short-lived. It is something that worries me, though I understand his reasons. Perhaps I shouldn't even mention it.

Your most laugh-inducing nomination is for bell boy - spot-on!

I third Aprilia being most respected BRoomer, but honorable mention must go to Screwloose and 659FBE aswell- I always find their views enlightening.

"PU for being the most moderate moderator (with respect to DD). "

Yep, let's not forget the mods - this is a very civilised site - great posters overseen by the (usually!) light hand of the mods.
Thanks all

I'd nominate Aprilia as the best all rounder; greatly appreciate Screwloose and Rich W (?) for PSA related advice.

Backroom Awards 2007 - Chips with everything
I second all the above, but would ask for a (right) honorable mention go to AlteaEgo. The site wouldn't be the same without him!

I'm not sure about Adam(P)'s departure or return being glorified either. All a bit dramatic for me - sorry - but that's how I've always felt about it.

May I nominate Lud for proving that wisdom comes with age?

Whenever I have an opinion on a thread, Lud has got there first and said what I would have said, and much better too!

I can't remember (read, can't be bothered to wait for the forum search) who it was, but the guy who had the break in and his vRS stolen has to get a nomination for bravery and good sense when it counted.

Plenty of people would get awards for randomness.

And Number Cruncher, for regularly making my head explode.
