Yep i understood that from your first post

I'm soliciting the opinions of a community of likeminded, supposedly cool webmasters to try and get some suggestions for who are some really cool up-and-coming talents within their community.
This is where i think we're running in to problems, in my view EVERYONE on GWW has their own talents which should be realized, as we are a community, singling out 10 of our community members just wouldnt feel right because to me, thats kind of like a slap in the face to the thousands of other community members who i dont mention, even though they are all worthy of praise and a watchfull eye

As i mentioned above, success and /or talent is what someone perceives it to be, therefore, someone who *I* may think is talented, someone else may not. Perhaps if you define 'talented' for us it would give us a better understanding of the type of people you want us to suggest to you for your peice in AVN

And I totally disagree with you. People aren't always successful b/cuz of their participation in a community. Sometimes they are just successful b/cuz they were smart and talented of their own accord. Those are the people I am looking to write about.
Isnt that what i said in my first post? LOL

To quote your remark earlier in this thread:

Ego... it's what's killing the porn business.
Yet you are wanting us to inflate someone's ego by suggesting them or deflate someone's ego by not doing
