*** xchrom & marmar appreciation thread! ***

I checked... did not see one for either xchrom or marmar within the past 2 years. You two have been consistently posting some of the most interesting and substantive articles here on DU for quite some time (IMO) and I think a bit of recognition is in order!

Although I think that one person who deserves some recognition, too, isProSense, because she isn't afraid to speak the truth as it is.....oh, and michigandem58 and TX4Obama, too....and I'm sure there's others as well.
