Maybe not for this category, but urysohn deserves a lot of credit for the "History of the AO" thread. (Do I need to add a link?)

I have two nominations in mind. If they have already been nominated, I will second both if needed.
1, Dumples is a vba expert who regularly gives excellent help in this area.
2. SpaceActuary is also a vba expert and regularly gives excellent help in this area.

It delights me that there are now a lot of actuaries here who are working hard to gain vba expertise and use it in their work. That was not the case when I retired 6 years ago.
