Alright. So my thinking is over with and the new celebrity is decided. There were many delightful people on here it could have been (I even toyed with the idea of naming BrendanStryker to see if I could raise the (un)dead but I figured that would result in thread deletion).
So I decided to pick someone who is a truly wonderful member of BWW. Someone who is intelligent, well informed and extremely wry and witty on the boards. And someone who is one of the kindest and most generous people off the boards. I have had the pleasure of their company many times when in NYC and it's never less than wonderful.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
