HN Nomination: Hacker news person of the the year?

I'm guessing most people lean towards Edward Snowden.

Second

Edward Snowden is not a member of HN

So you think! :P

Okay, maybe pg or pmarca? patio11? That awesome lawyer dude who wrote the stock options comment? (EDIT: grellas?)

I nominate Grellas[1]. Aside from the value I get in reading his posts, he is an actual member here on HN, and that's got to count for something over Snowden.

Edit: According to the leaderboard[2], he's got the 17th highest amount of Karma, the highest per-post average - an impressive 41.8, which is almost double the next-highest, [cletus] and roughly quadruple patio11, for reference.
