I tried to quantify the 'excitement' one brings to various mailing 
lists.  I assigned an inverse square relationship on the time it takes 
others to reply and a few other metrics to each person, then added to 
this value, the value of any other person that replied to this person 
(google-like)...this is probably pretty obvious, but I wanted to see if 
it fell out in numbers.  Anyways these were the top 15 people who 
brought the most 'excitement' to the LL1 list:
