"...we have some very knowledgeable posters here now who don't get any recognition..."

Very true about there being some very knowledgeable posters here but you're making the mistake of believing there's a correlation between knowledge of the stock and hub leadership. I'm only here because I'm the guy who started the Copper Fox forum on agoracom. Look at it this way: referees love the games they referee but there's a reason why they're referees and not players. The best referees of course know how to stay invisible. So, I'll shut up now. :-)
