Discussions

In the first of a few "of the year" threads over the next couple of weeks, I thought it would be fun to have a thread to recognize members of this site that others have noticed in discussions over the past year.  
 
Two questions..  
 
1) Which member's thoughts/opinions/posts have you enjoyed reading the most over the past year?  
 
2) Which new member's thoughts/opinions/posts have you enjoyed reading the most?  
 
Let's please keep this discussion focused on answering these questions rather than rebutting other peoples' answers.
