Left out:

nsxtasy: if you don't know of him already you will soon. And if he's not correcting your mistake he's bashing you in the head w/ "search the forum, you nitwit" reminders.
ak: aka Alyssa Knightsport (secretly married to infamous mod of Kills forum). Only NSX forum member that can translate Japanese.
ojas: famous w/i NSX forums for actually adding quality content and being helpful. Infrequent visitor. was it something I said, ojas
cwood: Ummm...cwood, I haven't even seen pics of your car in this forum?
dbernert: known for his widebody turbo NSX that he foolishly sold...and for squabbles with nsxtasy.
nsxxtreme: voice of reason rarely heard from.
knightsport: non-NSX owner, founder of ultra-left wing faction of the IRA called "Black-Ops" or somethingorother...posts only when a thread has gotten so low and inane that he considers it a challenge to make it more so. Still, he's probably the only guy here that was driven a genuine NSX-R on the track.
