Nearly the end of the year so just a bit of tongue in cheek fun.

Who do you reckon has made the best contributions to the site in 2015?

Mine:

1. (This is probably the only serious one I have): Breadvan72. I often read the SP&L forum but don't comment much. Don't think I've ever engaged with BV on a topic but have noticed that he cuts through a ton of pub-lawyer crap on a lot of threads and offers useful advice that in other circumstances people would have to pay to hear. Quite a few PH members probably owe this bloke a beer.

2. Flemke: For tenacity in answering questions on the F1 in an erudite and informative manner for many years whilst seemingly oblivious to some quite horrendous brown-nosing at times.

3. ChemicalChaos/Matt: As I said in another thread, still not sure whether your online persona isn't an elaborate troll but your posts keep the place entertaining. Hope you keep doing what you are doing.


Any other nominations?

In any thread with a lot of back and forth keyboard warrioring his posts stand out - always based in fact and sound engineering knowledge. One of the few people on here who's opinion I rarely question (no offence everyone else). Plus that Ibiza...

As this is PH, I'm sure it'll turn into a wkfest over Chris Harris.

Can't remember the username, but the guy that rescued the stranded ph'er in France.

As soon as I saw the thread title I immediately thought of Chemical Chaos. Maybe he is Council Baby's alter ego, maybe he is real.

The OP who delivered on the topic about his mail theft - standout for the year.

BV rows needlessly with too many people to take the title

He is real, and not CB's alter ego/lovechild

I have met him, he is a lot more normal in real life than he comes across on here

Is he still single? He hasn't been on the match.com thread in a while.

Agree, except for the last mentioned. He might know a lot of stuff but the way he presents it is deliberately grating to the point where I skim over most of his diatribes.

Contrasts sharply with Eric who knows even more and I've never known him to be anything other than a perfect gentleman.

I like BV's style. Then again I enjoy reading LoonR1's diatribes too...

Some great nominations, but IMHO all wide of the mark...

It has to be Pagey, for bringing "dusty eye syndrome" to the PH masses...

Not completely for his contributions, but for his outlook and positively during a really stty time in his life I'd nominate E65Ross.

Not sure how I would have coped in his situation

Many thanks for the praise. I do try to get it right - but I admit, not all the time. And now and then I do seem to rub some people the wrong way - totally unintended, of course smile

PH has its faults - but on the whole, it is a good on-line community.

I liked that bloke who "liked to get to know you".
He kept me smiling for ages.
