Well, I'd like to add a few names here.
jgnat, a constant voice of moderation and reason and very interesting contributions.
Yknot, yes, always (ok, she's on the list already but I can't let her be off mine.)
Outlaw, for so often summing up a situation in a few words that make us smile.
Shamus, for monkey fun and more.
moshe, for dry wit and some very pertinent and sensible comments; independent thinker, not going with the general flow
Cedars, for getting so much useful information out there
Atlantis, for bringing us so much useful information and documentation
cantleave, the only one I've talked with on the phone, a really nice guy.
and many, many, many more. So many great people here.

I am still a newbi and these threads go so fast, I don't know all the posters well, but I will give a few comments
compound complex - a great writer with a large and interesting vocabulary; and he's also an artist! Have learned a lot of new words reading his writings.
FlyingHighNow - very knowledgeable and kind lady. I always read her comments.
coffee_black - haven't seen a lot of her posts but I love her name. I think she has all her family out of the borg. Lucky her.
sammielee24 - interesting comments, knowledgeabe and has an interesting history/background.Have exchanged e-mails with him or his wife.
AK- Jeff - / Jimmy Page - both of these posters ask perceptive questions in their comments
snowbird - nice lady that helped me get on the trivia page. She has recently been playing and is very smart.
yknot - great comments and she is nice. Just read her comments on the ecomomy. She is upbeat.
ChristAlone - has been posting quite often and is also knowledgable. I always read his posts.
Theocratic Sedition - also a frequent poster, controversial poster but he make threads interesting.
Hortensia - new poster to me, as I am new. She appears to be a learned person.
tornapart - sensitive and sincere lady. Refused to go preach in a drug-ridden neighborhood. Smart woman. What were they thinking sending her there!
Vidiot - deep thinker. Went back and read some of his posts.
Quarterback - perceptive, not easily fooled. Asks the right questions.
ShirleyW - mischievous, and knowledgeable. Defends her position and knows a thing or two about a thing or two, what can I say, she's a New Yorker!
tiki - lovely lady that cares about others. She's nice.
nancy drew - great poet. Can write a poem at the drop of a hat.
Mr. Falcon - very nonchalant, 007 like.
There are so many intelligent and perceptive posters here. I wonder why I never met any smart jws before I got here? Some of you could intimidate me but I chose to learn from you rather that let myself be intimidated. I know as much as you'all about growing up and living as a jw, (except being an elder) but then there's all that other stuff on here you'all post about that makes me think "Oh! that's intense!"

The WTS doesn't really value "smart".
Unfortunately (or very fortunately, depending on your POV) it causes a brain drain, because the smart ones still "in" often feel like they're living the plot of Idiocracy, and one way or another, eventually feel compelled to leave.
As time goes on, the WTS will be left with a Worldwide Body of morons.
BTW, thanks. Although I have to confess that some of my thinking is quite shallow, actually.
Gutter-like, in fact.

Vidiot, as I said, I went back and read some of your posts and I did not find them shallow at all. I agree the there must be a brain drain in the writing dept. I remember when I used to read the wt, the writing was better that it is now. I guess the "thinking ones" do leave, because once you think for yourself, it's difficult to buy what they're selling.

I was trying to display a self-depreciating sense of humor; I guess I screwed it up (and the "gutter" thing is a subtle sex joke, i.e. dirty-mindedness).

Lady, there's a brain drain in the entire Organization.
