As for who I may have been speaking of, wouldn't it be interesting if it had been about the current favorite flavors here on Aiki-Web, or wherever? You know, people like Dan, Akuzawa or even... (gasp) Mike S. ...? Think about it.

Ironically, plenty of people quoting these 'current favorite flavors' are the ones that went to train with them. How's that in doing research?
