I just want to remind everyone that the "Most Frequent Posters" list is not meant to reflect any kind of a score. Its sole purpose is to show who is active on the site. If two or more people provide an answer, that's perfectly fine. In the event that the person posting the question does not actually know the answer, this shows them that at least two different people did some research for them and came up with the same answer. Then too, sometimes there is more than one answer, depending on how the question is interpreted. What we don't want is a string of one or two-words answers that all say the same thing.

This is definitely worth listening to, if you can find a recording. Here's more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tell_Overture_(Spike_Jones_version) May 19 06, 7:32 AM
