Users to follow on WSO?

Hi guys, not sure if I'm breaking any rules by making this post: if so, please tell me.

I'm a first-year student who's interested in IBanking, S and T and everything in between. I've browsed some of the more popular threads and I really enjoy the type of humor here (even if you guys aren't trying to be funny).

The point of this post is to ask for some power users to follow. I know there's a "certified user" label, but surely there must be some giants that any new user should pay attention to.

Also, any advice for a young and dumb kid?
