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? Posted by Michael Boone (Member # 308) on :
my own
Posted by Joe Golden (Member # 6870) on :
I think everyone should read mine as well.
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.

Okay I'll come clean... Jill beans the font Queen! Usually she posts something in regards to fonts and I find they are pretty useful... thanks Jill
Posted by Bobbie Rochow (Member # 3341) on :
I like Jill's too, she always posts interesting things to me, even her questions.
I liked Sonny a lot when I met him, so I always like to read his opinion on things.
Ricky makes me laugh!
Raymond has an excellent point of view on things & I always love HIS opinion when he posts too!
And that little Jake Snow...now he gives me a tickle now & then too, & is so very talented!

Joey, has a way with words. A statesman. of course I have to mention, Chef Kimberly, who is busy gettin' the Folsom pad in order.

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.
Posted by Joey Madden (Member # 1192) on :
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

Peewee;
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???? Posted by Sonny Franks (Member # 588) on :
Just for laughs, you can't beat the Jon/Ricky/Jake triad.........
Posted by Jon Butterworth (Member # 227) on :
Kelly's.
She's usually searching for answers. Even if I don't have one, it gets me thinking ... how would I do that?
Brain fodder. Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
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
Posted by Sam Staffan (Member # 4552) on :
I open up and start at the top.
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" Posted by Mark Fair Signs (Member # 289) on :
Bruce Ward. He is so positive! LOL
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
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
Posted by Tom Giampia (Member # 2007) on :
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.
Posted by bruce ward (Member # 1289) on :
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?
Posted by Rick Beisiegel (Member # 3723) on :
I gotta say, I like Bruce Bowers posts. Usually "spot on"
Ricky, Si, & Gavin make me laugh
Joey is like a wise old uncle who happens to paint too
And the David Harding / Raymond Chapman debates make my day too. (will FOX News broadcast those too)
And, I always have to read the post Steve makes when he locks a thread, the sandbox manager has spoken!
Don't usually have time for the long winded blah blah blah posts

Posted by Deri Russell (Member # 119) on :
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.
Posted by Ricky Jackson (Member # 5082) on :
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.
Posted by Tony Lucero (Member # 1470) on :
Ricky Jackson...always funny, often helpful Alicia Jennings...obvious Glenn Taylor....smart, thoughtful, funny Doug Allen....sucessful, cutting edge, articulate, controversial Old Paint...wise, funny, off-beat, real Shelia Ferrel(sp?) smart, articulate honest Jillibean...honest, humble, kind Karen Bush...Blunt, funny, hardcore, Jon...Common sense, funny as hell, stand up guy
Man...the list goes on....seems most of the regulars have something special to offer this board...keep it up!
Posted by Sheila Ferrell (Member # 3741) on :
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.
Posted by Donna in BC (Member # 130) on :
Interesting question!
By far, my top favorites are the rifts between Dan/Raymond/David. Dan comes on with some thoughtful observances and it all goes downhill from there.
I'm lookin' to learn, but a laugh at the end of it is never a bad thing!
There ya go Ricky. Here I am. Posted by Kissymatina (Member # 2028) on :
Dan's because I love the positive way he looks at life. The flooded basement is still one of my all time favorites!
Ricky because he's real and funny and a pretty smart business person even though he hangs out with that Jake character.
Anything that at least 2 of the following: Jake, Jon, Ricky, Mike and/or Mike have posted on because I love the way they abuse each other.
Kelly's because she is a sweetheart & her posts really make a person think outside the box.
Doug has some great ideas, creative ways to deal with space or setting up an efficient work environment and he can really express himself.
Glenn's are often wonderful common-sense or good business information. Except when he posts links to videos I can't look at. Posted by Jon Jantz (Member # 6137) on :
Pretty much everyone that's been mentioned and everyone that has posted in this thread are must-reads for me.
I feel like Sheila Ferrell except I don't have the common sense to refrain from posting if I have nothing valuable or insightful to add....

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.

I miss TBuk's posts. For some reason I still remember the "on the twain" signature line.
