Suggested categories - Poster who :
1. Is the Most Energetic
Realist Bear, who else. Should also be nominated as official national treasure.
2. Is the Most Enthusiastic
As above.
3. Argues most convincingly
Dr Bubb always sounds plausible - not sure his track record is quite as good as he makes out but always a good read.
4. Most bigoted
Too many contenders. Eric would have walked away with it at one point but he seems to be getting more thoughtful lately.
5. Least Bigoted
Charlie the Tramp always seems very even handed.
6. Most Rational
The Last Bear - you can't argue with much that he says.
7. Least Rational
I hate to say it because I enjoy his posts, but cgnao seems to be a long way from the herd. Does that necessarily make him irrational. Maybe not, but I think you have to give what he is saying a lot more thought than most.
8. Funniest
Lots to chose from here. Bloo loo springs to mind but there are many others.
9. Best Linker to Illuminating Info
Can't think of any one, though like most on here I respect Spline's analysis.
10. Most Convincing Surviving Bull (if any)
I really miss time to raise the rents. He always seemed to be talking common sense.
11. Most Outrageous
Laurajohn.
12. Most Respected
Extradry Martini gets my vote here - though I don't really think I am qualifiied to judge.
And Finally: HPC Poster of 2007
It can only be realist bear.

My favourite poster/member is FP because he gets on tv and radio - he has a massive impact on sentiment and always performs very well during interviews. Hopefully we will be seeing much more of him on tv & radio during 2008.
Pretty good analysis - especially realist bear and Dr bubb. I think Dr Bubbs posts are especially educational.
I think most persistent bear could be 'smarter than the average bear' in the newcastle thread. His next post will be spelling out which new build flats in newcastle will retain their value...honest

Dr Bubb a mod bitching with the other mods - even the wise take silly things personally
Long posts explaining why the poster is leaving and why this Forum is not to their taste.
I'm going to bump this just once to encourage a light diversion from news reported here that is often in the "more of same" category without adding much solid progress, and I am as guilty as anyone. Do try and take a little time off for a bit off light relief from the usual grind, just for a change. Thank you.

Wonder where HPC comes in the internet stakes?
There was a post on MSE saying how bad and nasty we are.
Oh also on the dark side web site. A site so dark, when I typed it, the post was deleted.

This man has termed the no1 quote of 2007 and I use it in many discussions myself, this is "100% correct guaranteed"
Also makes very valid points on the world economy and the true effects of economic policy on house prices, world economies and paints a picture of the end game.
A valid and significant member of HPC and the candidate that should win HPC'r of the year - 100% correct (guaranteed??)

A 2 bit, second rate, watered down washed out site who's main discussion forum is about this site!
A site so dark, even night wouldn't visit it, so hideous ian huntley wont mention it, so dastardly - dick wont drive to it, so ugly peter beardsley squirms at the thought of it, so nonsensicle jade goody knows about it, so inferior only single cell organisms will acquaint it, please let's not mention it, I shudder at its name.

Personally I'd like to add an additional category of "Most elloquent poster" and nominate your good self, VP.

valdermort.com silly
Poor old ?..! no-one gives a monkeys about him but he has to be up there as the most sane, rational, respected poster, he'd be my nomination anyway.
Best catchphrase? CGNAO's "100% Guaranteed" still not been subjected to hyperinflation yet though
Funniest Poster would have been Dissapated Youth but his recent efforts have fallen short of his high standards and I think Solvent Celt deserves a special mention in this category for the Credit Crunch type pix he kept unearthing.

He doesen't post much, but when he does it is darkly amusing.
The XYY Man = Funniest Posts.
