What I think is even more amazing than the number of items and ratings list on this site is the amount of DIVERSITY. The personalities on Rateitall are about as alike as red and turquoise. There are the cynical but humorous people---cynical in a good way, for almost all of them---who brighten up the site (Eric the Federalist, glorybox3, Dorkavitch Chamalsky, Govinda, Grim, callmetootie, and Springsteen80sbaby to name a few), the Religious Right crazies (excuse my terminology) who make RIA interesting (hell, if everyone agreed with me that would be incredibly boring!) and progressive (noah, zeev, flyme121, Snuffy Smith, and pezkid to name a few), the ones who with their politics have put hope in my heart for this world and make RIA hospitable to me (Marc Chatow, ellajedlicka21, danmuse, Andrew Gilmore ImpeachBushNow, MCHATOW, and Rusty to name a few), the insightful, mature users who know everything about everything and make the site informative (Wiggum, magellan, and Medgar Evers to name a few), the moderates who can please anyone with something and make the site un-extreme (CastleBee, abichara1882, Drummer4Jesus, Molfan, and Munson to name a few), the good but ever-so-slightly-mad (in a good way!) users whom voice their opinions...uh...thouroughly with one short, sweet comment and make this site happily crazy (remy, fathi gepril elgawo, killerqueen, Flano, and reveal to name a few), the amiable, agreeable users who are so easy to get along with even if you don't agree with them and who make RIA user-friendly (Natalie_14 and blueeyes, to name a few), and finally, the ones whodon't have anything incredlibly special about them, but in theri own way are just all-around cool and make RIA a good site (afterglow70, to name my favorite in this group). And keep in mind that even if I didn't mention you, you fit into one of these cool groups of users that make RIA what it is! Take care, everyone!
