OK, it'll probably smack of a mutual admiration society to include BluesDuke in my list, but I never knew what "encyclopedic knowledge" meant until I asked BluesDuke what I thought was a little baseball question and got about a four-page response. . . unaided by Internet browsing.

Others on the list of worthies:

MplsSteve: pinger of Minnesotans, revealer of sordid liberal politics in Minnesota, and Internet antidote to sordid liberal politics in Minnesota

lightman: Luther-like exposer of ELCA capitulation and treachery to its tradition

cpforlife.org; MHGinTN; Salvation; LiteKeeper; waggleebee: tireless fighters for the lives of the innocent unborn

GOPRaider; aft_lizard: chronicler/oracle of college football matters and stalwart Cornhuskers fan, respectively. Only 16 days 'til the Holiday Bowl.

Amazing what a good, solid home library can do, no? ;)

Besides, give credit to the questioner. The only stupid question may be the question you don't ask, but my friend rhema asks solid questions and the exchanges are always instructive and delightful.

Thank you for the high compliment, FRiend, but you and SmithL deserve much credit for posting articles of the "Exodus" and pinging them to my attention.
