I took time to take account of all that i have learnt from hubpages and was wondering whom to attribute such success to. Hubpages gave me more than i ever expected from any online community.
However, you that is reading this hub is to me the most freindly and helpful hubber.
I think a lot that play on the forums are friendly. I mean that how we get to know each other. I love the interaction. It is my life. The one's that point out in post accomplishments of other hubbers are so cool.
Definitely on all counts. I think I annoy Relache a little, though. I suspect she is not a fan of my lazy, slackerness. Can't say if I had that kind of motivation, I wouldn't frown at my ilk too. lol.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't really have an opinion about you one way or the other.
I will say this... Some people get on my case for not coddling to newbies, but given the choice of wiping people's butts for them, or just pointing out the toilet paper, I have to say I'm going to default to the latter.
I also have to say I agree with the people who don't equate friendliest and most helpful. Some of the friendliest folks on this site are quite vapid, and some of the most helpful ones are often near invisible.
Oh don't worry about my bubble. I had no illusions that you carry thoughts of little old me around with you in your days. My comment was based entirely on the tone of replies I have gotten that read a bit like the way some folk's faces look as they carry rodent corpses to the trash. That's all I meant. And I do get it, as I am one of those villains who will give up searching for an answer after about three topic searches, too lazy to try to discover the right term to describe the process I don't know. But, I do appreciate the directions to the toilet paper roll, as I often need them. It's the most fun to paw at the end of it dangling there. Sometimes, if you spin it really fast it shoots out and makes a papery puddle that spills all over and gets back behind the toilet where it's kinda yucky. Which is fun and gross.
(This is not meant to insinuate that you would worry about my bubble either, btw.)
To be very honest, 'helpful' and 'friendly' don't often go together on HP.... hence I can think of totally different names for each category. Except, I don't like naming a few, when many deserve to be mentioned. So, thank you to all...who take time to offer valuable advice and to those who make it such a fun place to be!
I have to agree with what others have said: friendly and helpful don't always go together. I'm friendly, but I'm not very helpful most of the time because I'm a tech dummy! If I can help, I do, however.
helpful lots of them -- through the hubs they shared and other helpful remarks on the forums Mark Knowles, sunforged, edweirdo, relache, Marissa Wright, darkside, livewithrichard, Misha, ryankett
Clearly the Greek One is the MOST helpful of all hubbers. Probably more helpful than all hubbers combined. Possibly more helpful than all hubbers can ever be even if we quantified all past, present and future hubbers' helpfulness output together.
Perfect! And to add to that, he's also immortal.... eternally so! In fact, let's have a statue in his name...even have a sacrifice of some sort at the edifice...
If I have to choose just one single hubber, then it has to be Darkside, he has taught me the most and is a great bloke... I am looking forward to not being so busy, so I can drop him a decent line again.
But, by choosing just one, I am leaving out numerous great hubbers who have helped me out a lot in the past.... so I can't blame those who sit on the fence with these types of questions!
I don't know many members but of those I do know I would have to mention Rebecca.E & Relache, simply because those are the names I know how to spell without problems lol
I will comment here on Relaches statement too:

I have found that often it is the most direct amongst us are those who give the best advice more often than not, they pull no punches and don't entreat people to listen to them. They let their words and advice speak for themselves...though there is no excuse for blatant rudeness, I always follow it up with a tongue smiley :p
There are tons of hubs on keyword selection and the various tools one could use to make the process easier.But, like most things 'net - they are mostly copies of copies of copies or poorly strewn together theories by intermediate writer-marketers ..So I ask... what was truly masterful, what made...
For me, the Best Photographer award is a no-brainer. http://aviannovice.hubpages.com/ is the best photographer I've seen on HP by a long shot, but she only has 317 followers and many hubbers may not have seen her work. (Follow the link and see her work for yourself if you don't already have a...
