Bob, you have awarded many deserving (and perhaps some undeserving) people the title of being a Great American. This got me thinking, who are your Top 10 Greatest Americans?

it was a hard list to make - and just made it off the top of my head.

"10 Greatest American Songwriters" would've been good.. "10 Greatest American Politicians", etc

you'd be among the 10 Greatest American Message Board Posters, that's for sure.

You're far too kind.

Another good one would be the 10 Greatest Spartans. That would be quite a difficult list to make.
