I see Rovo's #1 and #2 fans are the first the answer.

Nah you missed ratchets back on page one if it is rovo.
I looked at the investing page and his name stuck out and what the E else rhymes with Lenovo (which is what I have coincidentally)

In EE, five different posters (Beer, Ratchets, apple, Dr. Pig, colleenz) joined at five different times. Each poster has a different karma level, logs on using a different computer, has a different posting style, and has a different favourite mod (Moonbeam, Scottish_Lassie, Rovo, The J, Virgil). Use the following clues to answer the question: who is each poster's favourite mod? No tricks. Only ordinary logic and deduction. (Note that this puzzle is all hypothetical. None of the karma levels, computers, styles, join times, etc. are true to life. You should only use the clues to solve the puzzle.) CLUES:1. The poster who joined third has 50 karma. 2. Beer has an expressive posting style. 3. The poster using an HP Desktop joined immediately before or immediately after the poster whose favourite mod is rovo. 4. The casual poster joined immediately before the aggressive poster. 5. The casual poster has 100 karma. 6. colleenz has 150 karma. 7. Ratchets' favourite mod is Scottish_Lassie. 8. The poster using a TouchSmart PC has 200 karma. 9. apple joined immediately before or immediately after the informative poster. 10. The poster using an HP Desktop joined immediately before or immediately after the poster with 250 karma. 11. The jocular poster uses a Dell Laptop. 12. The poster who uses an IBM Thinkpad thinks The J is the best mod. 13. apple joined first. 14. The poster whose favourite mod is Moonbeam joined immediately before or immediately after the poster using a Dell Laptop. 15. Dr. Pig uses an iMac. 20 karma hits from Virgil to the daring poster who can first solve this problem.Do you dare?

No, it's a logic problem. You have to deduce who is who by using more than one clue to figure out each person. Make a copy of Virgil's post, and when you figure them out, post your answers all at the same time.

The question was for those 5 posters listed 'Who was their favorite mod' Virgil gave the answer of one of the posters of the puzzle.
OR
Was that not the question?

Lassie is right, Deb. #7 is part of the answer, but figuring out the whole answer is the tricky bit. As for 12: remember, none of these clues have anything to do with reality. For example, I have no clue which posters use which computers in RL. I have no clue whether apple was really the first to join. Basically, I took a famous riddle and exchanged the various 'categories' to make it EE-specific. Use the clues only.

What components make up the FULL answer.
I thought the answer was only posters--> Favorite Mod...computer type also?

You need to associate each poster with his/her favourite mod. But to do that, you'll need to use all of the hints listed.
For example, you might figure out that poster W has posting style X, and that the poster with posting style X has karma Y, and that the poster with karma Y has the favourite mod Z.
This way, you know that poster W has favourite mod Z.
We already know:
Ratchets > Scottish_Lassie
Now we need to figure out:
apple > ? Dr. Pig > ? Beer > ? colleenz > >

Apple's favorite mod is rovo Colleen's fave is moonbeam Beer just loves J Who would have guessed that Piggy has a man crush on virgil and of course, aggressive Ratchets loves SL.
