Would be interesting to know what members drive the conversation and make an impact on this community. I'm thinking of you, Will Pitt. You were righteous and wrongeous in your posting life here. But you made an impact.

Not fair to rank DU members by importance or anything else. Anyhow, it's all subjective.

6. I recognize great DU posters

Have lots of them and sometimes share on DU.

16. I agree

[Clouds Passing]

11. So many fantastic posters, so little time...........

15. The Will Pitt example is the reason to not do it.

Because when one of these high profile people trashes the Democrats, it holds more weight for non-Democrats.
