Now that we are nearing the end of the decade, allow me to suggest
that we take a poll. :-)

In gratitude for the amusement that they have provided, allow me
to suggest the following 3 categories:

People should vote for 5 choices in each category...

Biggest Kook/Crank
Generally Clueless
Willfully Ignorant

And, at the other end of the scale:

Most Helpful

In the "Biggest Kook" category, there are two very strong contenders
and a bunch of also-rans. I can think of a lot of candidates for
"Generally Clueless", and I have a leading candidate for "Willfully
Ignorant".

I refrain from voting at this time, until others have weighed in.

I am sure you know that already, but Google keeps a star-rating for all posters.

Google's star-rating should be fairly well correlated with some of the
categories you suggest above. All you've got to do is compile a short list of
sci.math posters and their ratings, by clicking on 'user-profile'.

You can then pick the low/high end of the ratings and sub-categorize these.
