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 porn links.

I like Heather, she takes a lot of heat and hangs in there. She got guts.

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.

I like Heather but she's too scatalogical for my tastes.

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.

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:

> 3. Carl

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.

Does anyone miss Brian Lafferty ? I'm sure he will show up around
worlds this year with his insight into USAC. I heard a rumor that
Scott Patton and Lafferty are really best of friends and now have a
condo together in Aspen. They both deserve to be on a RBR "list" of
some sort. Papai gets my vote as supreme ruler with Kunich as his
bitch.

Unfortunately he's still around and still appears to dislike bike racing.

For the newbies:

Pappy was going out on his first date with this woman. For some really,
really dumb reason, he queried RBR for first date advice.

The best was from J. Verheul, who advised him to: "pound it like there's no
tommorrow" so that Pappy's libido would be sated and he wouldn't be too
forward (trying to get laid).

The rest is history. Pappy married that woman.




See? RBR isn't completely useless.
