I mean.. when you crack open the computer and hit this site you scan up and down the posts...then see that certain person who always has a good topic or type of post that interests you...Know what I mean?

But in all seriousness, I really like Raymond Chapmans posts. I like the way he talks, and his style of signs really get me energized, even though I dont make the kind of stuff he does, but I sure want too. So kudos to you Raymond Chapman.
I also really miss a great Mike Meyer post.

David Harding's wit cracks me up! Any post with the Mayor's name behind it is always a good read. Russ McMullin, Raymond Chapman, and Jon Janz's post always interest me as well. None of them are afraid to express their opinions, but they all do it in a pretty tactful way for the most part. I like that. There is a pretty diverse group on this board and depending on my mood on any given day I may be drawn more to one poster or another.

Well I like reading Grampa Dan's posts because as I see it, he really has it together except for the fact that he gets long winded at times, but than again who wouldn't when you have that much talent.
I also like to read posts which ask for help in paint and that's because I'm into it for the long run and can find the solutions from my experiences.
I've also learned alot here in Letterville, I've learned to laugh at one's ability to get themselves into trouble as such the case with Ricky Jackson and Todd whats his name who can't seem to take his lady out without getting crazy. I see persons leaving forever and returning the next month as if nothing was ever said. I get emails from persons expecting me to be like them and to think like them as if this one world in which we live in has everyone living a socialistic lifestyle
I like PeeWee's posts but only when he gets serious for I know first hand what his work is like. I like the posts where persons are so hard up for work that before they give in to that Nigerian email which promices them thousands of dollars that they get so inclined to post it here and share it with all of us. I like Jack's philosophical posts and of course his brother's answers to those wanting bubble free signage as well as all those posts from everyone here except from those who come here not to answer, not to ask but come just to expect us to pay homage too

In our case, it's always you !!!! Everytime I get gas, I think of you, both vehicles!!!! You!!!! So it's natural to think of you here, and when I see one of your posts, I ignore it!!!!
Seriously? It's such a diverse crowd, each and everyone has their own aura, personality, experience, work ethics, standards, limits, etc...to pick a favorite? Impossible, ask that question within a micro second period of time and I'd have a more definitive answer, and it would be a person on mind at that particular moment in time, to ask for overall selection is asking to select which sense to work today instead of allowing all of them to work together, in harmony to produce the final analogy one interpets as feelings and judges there only on good or bad...so to answer your query my friend, I don't friggn' know the answer, now!!! when you going to take this stuff off my cars????? Huh????

Gavin, without a doubt. And Arthur Vanson. I also like Nettie's posts, Karyn's, Stevo's, Sam's, Sheila's, Sonny's, Rixax, Jane Diaz's, Ian's, Bobbie's and Todd's. I also enjoy the Ricky/Jakey/Jon stuff. I even like Stephen and his barcodes. A lot of the people whose posts I like to read do not post here anymore. I miss that. Thanks for the props, PeeWee. I think the Portfolio page is my favorite section. Less talk. More pictures. Love....Jill

I can't stand it if I don't at least open it no matter who it is from.
Some posts which you think may not be much turn into some of the best!
If it's 'Red" it needs "Read"

I like Bruce's posts and can identify with a lot of them. I just try not to talk as negatively as I used to because some people thought I had a mental problem. I was just broke and scared. The sign business is not always a brimming bowl of sunshine. Thankfully things have gotten better in my neck of the woods! Love....Jill

I prowl here almost every day, but when I see a new name, I always look. Then I'll look for some of my favorites... Dan, Checkers, Glenn Taylor, Cam and Jane Diaz.

LOL oh mark you kill me. I actually like reading your post and then responding to your post and THEN having several people PM me about how many personal emails you have shot to them cussing them out in the past year, LOL always a riot.
I have also admired your "calm disposition on here and then to get a personal email later going off, LOL another riot. and FYI im not negative I deal with reality, and i do realize that dealing with reality IS NOT PC anymore is it?

I try to get here every day too. But not to see anyone in particular's post. I will open the ones that I feel will pertain to my type of work. If there is anything I might help someone with. (As long as it doesn't involve re-doing a full layout LOL) Or if I look at an OT topic and I think it will be humourous I will open those too. There are a lot of people on here that I admire and sometimes I read them just because, or if I have met and know the person I generally will read their posts as well.

I read different people's posts with the expectation of a certain slant from each of them. From Kelly I expect a high level of serious wisdom; from Jon and Blake; insightful wittiness; from Jake; incredible sign work and pot shots at moi; Jill: the font queen; Karen Bush: outrageously unexpected humor; Kent Smith: "the professor"; Dan: verbose but well worth the read; Gavin and the Rev. Joey: I'm not sure; I feel that most of the time they are holding back and not saying exactly what's on their minds. David Harding: I know I'm always going to be treated to razor sharp wit; Rain man Chappy: a national treasure of sign knowledge and skill - but I still love to pick on him; Mike Pipes: for many reasons; "the Toddler": cause you never know what he's going to stir up; Nettie and Donna: cause I just like looking at their lovely faces regardless of what they contribute.

I never choose to read a post based on who wrote it. It's not important.
I always choose based on the specific subject, or if it's not 'direct', I select on what I think the concept or idea of the post will be.
If it's of interest to me personally, or I have no ideas, I don't read it further, or respond.
If I think I can contribute meaningfully, if nothing more than to smile, I do it.
Meanwhile, the people who contribute here are among the most talented, creative, ingenious, funny, helpful & gracious people who exist on the planet and I consider it an honor to be able to read their 'thoughts' and to have met some of them live and in person, and am very blessed to count many as close friends.

Posts that I really liked that people took too serious... That would be Ted Bukovsac & Mike Languin
Kelly has beena favorite for a long time.
I do like those posts from people who have serious questions.
