But if pure knowledge is priority then Sundquist, Maso and Coggan would be right up there. There
are quite a few others but who would they be?

Maso ehh? Nope. Sundquist is way high and Coggan is good (but boring).

Connelly should be high too.

Triton needs to chuck AOL for something real, other than that, then hell yes.

For shear negativism, anti-Americanism you'd have to put j.v. Sluis and Lafferty near the top of
that special list.

Bart used to be really informative but something happened there about a year ago. I think he
burned out.

Dumbass -

You've got this all wrong, starting with #1.

The most influential person on this newsgroup is Heather Halvorson, because she

1) is female and
2) posts the most [censored] links.

She also has a lot of chutzpah, and handles testosterone laden rbr quite well.

People are probably more interested in reading her posts than anyone else's, but I don't know that
that makes her the most influential person on this NG.

Everyone loves heather (no capitalization in deference to her preference).

"deference to her preference" is an awfully good line. I'm going to remember that. I'll use it, if I
ever end up single again.

Not everyone is so perceptive.

I'm only just starting to learn who the players are. I haven't really followed racing too
much the past 15 years or so; Carl is the only regular poster whose name I know
independently. I remember him as national track team, pursuiter IIRC; I also notice that,
like the other top racers I've met, he doesn't need to BS anyone. It was the perpetual cat
IIIs that would razz the non-racers for having hairy legs. I have an image of Benjo hangin
with Bartali, Bobet and the other greats. He's obviously educated and doesn't need to insult
anyone. Henry and Tom are trying hard to make people think they're adolescent, but they're
too mature and can't cut it. I've never seen so many guys use "asswipe" and "dumbass" as
terms of endearment.

Ken I put this on the "things I learned on RBR"-list ?

He got married. Actually, it's Jeff's fault. CN is doing all the reporting now.

The only one you cite who belongs on the list is:

The list of others deserving consideration is very short. OMC, Laudien, Lieswyn, Sharon Peters, and
anyone named Carney. The lesser dieties woud be JFT X000, Schmantz, The BenSharp 4, and Mike "check
out my other autions" Jones. Of course, should Andrew ever abandon his quest to become the next
Tiger Woods and return to bicycle racing, all bets are off.

Immaturity is a large part of being a bike racer, if it wasn't there would be no incentive.

You mean the competitive impulse is immature? How judgemental! ;-)

1. rhonde champ the original what happened to him. irritating but entertaining as hell.... I enjoy
laughing over learning any day.....

2. leiswyn, you actually get something out of his "literature".

3. ken papai, (most improved groupie) when I started reading this group [censored] he was the biggest
idiot of em all. now he has lived up to his new years resolution and found a spot for all of his
testosterone and is a positive input. good personality move KP.
