Mith's answer to healthcare logo shenanigans
He tells it like it is, and gives a great view on this debate from a non-American point of view, and includes relevant facts and some pictures.

I was intrigued when I read the question posted by @asw44
http://www.mahalo.com/answers/celebrities/where-can-i-find-a-complete-list-of-all-michael-jackson-albums-singles-movies-etc
When I opened the question I thought there's no point in answering it, what can I do to add to the answer given by @mithrandir. I'm becomingly increasingly impressed with the work of this Mahaloian, including the work in Barnraising 4 where i've finished 2nd to this member!
The level of detail shown by @mithrandir in this answer is very impressive detailing every track in 13 of Michael Jackson's albums. Proving what a community spirit he has, @mithrandir even offers to help @jduvall update her Michael Jackson page with a discography. That's the kind of community spirit we need around here so my nomination is for this post.
I'd have probably inserted a couple of images in tha answer myself, but netherless this is a mind blowingly detailed answer and I highly commend it to all Mahaloians. Give this answer a read now

I've added a lesser known Michael Jackson track - Stranger in Moscow, just for your interest.

Today also I stand with @phryne for his nice answer for @stanar 's question Is Mahalo analogous to a massive Brain spanning across continents?
Click Here for Phryne's answer
This is a complete answer with a lot of facts. Well thought and well written as usual. The answer seems to be a bit long, but the length is appropriate for the question.
She more aptly put to words what I was thinking than I did.. as usual.

@badaspie 's answer was well researched and written with good explanation. I have been reading about this concept for a while but couldnt make sense out of it, maybe I need to look for a better source. But this answer helped clear my doubts.
I liked the answer from @carriep too, but this one has better explanation and with good links.

His/her answer to the question:
OPEN THREAD: Toxicology tests show Billy Mays used cocaine before his death
I love Billy Mays and went into the discussion feeling very somber and curious. And then @popnfresh100 made me snort. That alone deserves nomination and special consideration.
Thanks for the unexpected @popnfresh100. That made my Mahalo day!

I believe the answer I, (http://www.mahalo.com/member/twizztedtiffi) posted to this question should win as the best answer of the weekend. Within the answer, I logically stated why Mahalo should not become the next new "facebook" or "twitter." Finding more creative ways to help people make money on Mahalo is much more important than "reinventing the wheel."
Therefore, you bring the Mahalo site to the people, instead of bringing the people to the site. It just works, logically!!! Knowledge is Power!
Personal Experience
to the question " Should Mahalo add more social networking features? " for the
answer of the day.
She is explaining on the one hand in an easy to understand way why Mahalo
should NOT add more social networking features and on the other hand she
is providing in a constructive way some good ideas to even improve this unique project here ! That's creative !
Regards
Sam

A great answer to a question that would definitely be on the Question of the Day if it were already back.
As usual, @badaspie supplied a detailed and comprehensive answer.
Great Job!
On a side note, I would like to use this opportunity to draw attention to another question: What bird species is the twitter bird.
I went looking for a simple answer and came across a really interesting story about how the "Twitter Bird" was purchased from a stock photo website (for about $7!)
