Wow guys! I've always had huge respect for the number of thoughtful, insightful, intelligent posters we have on this site. To be picked as poster of the year here is a huge honor. Thank you!

Congrats, Patience.

Aw shucks, I just saw this thread this morning. Thanks to SPG for nominating me, I sure never expected to tie with Elisha Cuthbert :D
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
