good, deserving nominations, and i'd like to add another:
deltadude is always helpful in offering good, practical advice to beginners, based on his knowledge, experience and what he's learned here. he is also congenial with all members (as an example, he started a "merry christmas" thread to wish all a happy holiday). he won't win any prizes for posting the most q-view on the board, but what he has posted has looked very good. his join date is within the time frame and i do believe that he would make a great addition to the squires' list as such recognition will motivate him to continue the honorable traditions of this order.
may i have a second?
