Yes, .. well no.for me there is no "close to the top as possible".I NEED to be on #1 or I do not deserve my volume worth of air it takes up on this planet!

I, like most others, would include everybody who has answered a question for me directly, everyone who has answered a question for me I didn't even know I wanted to ask (I have a solo 401k account that before BP I didn't know was an option, so I guess thank you @Joshua Dorkin) and especially thank you to the people who correct my own wrong answers.That said here are q few groups of people that deserve an @ttaboy;Since I'm mainly in Tax liens (and deeds), my "go to experts";@Ned Carey@Tom Yung@Wayne Brooks@Richard D.People who introduced me to other investors to answer questions include the "Chicago connections" of  @Brie Schmidt, @Zach Shepard, @Derek Martin, @Wendell De GuzmanI would be remiss if I didn't mention how awesome @Steven Hamilton II is for answering accounting/tax questions with the appropriate caveats a licensed professional needs to include.And those who write great blogs on topics that catch my attention with their complete openness on deals; @Dawn Anastasi, @Seth Williams,  on deals@Shaun ReillyAnd I'm humbled by those reach out with a colleague request based on a forum answer or blog post I've written.Oh yeah, as a comedy writer myself (I know not much of what I do on BP is comedy except for my wrong answers) I am always impressed with a funny post.

No one is going to say "well a flipper should only make 30k per deal, they don't deserve more".

OK seriously.. this definitely deserves 5 virgins, 3 goats, 6 brown chickens (virgins too), and 3 homecooked meals!

They take real risks and deserve some rewards.

At this point, thanks to Detective @Jeff Cagle, I think we can conclude with certainty that Michael Quarles is a scammer and a thief, and deserves some accountability.

OMG thank you Lord MSOOTKAUG, I do not deserve to be in your presence, how can I ever repay you"Ehhh...
