RBR Gods

[TritonRider]

Starting with three who are here and active and attempt to be reasonable:
1. Carl
2. Ken- hasn't been real active lately, but still a huge positive.
3. Ewoud

Most informative:
1. Benjo- His knowledge is amazing.
2. Andy- Any Questions?
3. Dashi

Most helpfull
1. JT
2. Ken
3. Greg

Amit doesn't really fit a category but, for me, his observations are "Must
Reading".

People who dont post very often anymore:
1. JDashMe
2. Adam
3. Sleepy John
Just my opinion

Thanks, but considering I've just been taunting Bruce J. you might want to
check with him about reasonable.

No offense, but who is Greg?

I'd have a hard time arguing with those too. I still have a hard time
believing that Jeff is as active here as he is.

If it's any consolation, It didn't take me long to figure out when I first
came to RBR that Sunquist knowledge was off the scale. Henry pretty smart
too but there is always a price to pay. Robert Chung is smart as well as
John Forrest Tomlinson. Vardi posts are fun to read. JTN and Warren usually
post pretty accurate information.

Who could forget Jeff Jones, I did. Jeff is a gift to RBR. He is glued in
there and I am not sure about his level of knowledge but it has to be up
there.

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

Jeff is my favorite. Not a God, but a great guy that has a great personality
and is very cool. For a while he was giving heads ups for his scoops but
does not seem to do that these days.

I'm not really :-) Actually I've been posting to RBR for 10 or 11 years now
(not as long as some, I admit) so it's become a habit. It's not an
addiction. It's not an addiction. I have worked out how to unplug myself
from the computer too. If I want.

Thanks all for your comments. I try to contribute, with the proviso that my
posts should generally be read with the sarcasm filter on. And there are
also plenty of other people here who know their **** (and even more who
don't), which is why I keep coming back.

RBR hit for the morning. <deep, nasal breath> Better than coffee. Now to do
some actual work.

Warren is a nice bridge between Coggan (analytical) and
Sundquist (sharp and knows racing).

John Forrest gets very grumpy (like me often) but is
very smart, esp. on the East Coast P/1/2 racing scene.

Chung is very smart (Asian-French?)

We all know Henry's high IQ and spoofiness and the gobs of
free time he has.

Ilan/Emma (same person?) I don't read because it seems
"professorially immature" to me. He's damn smart though.

Kyle L. is my Supreme Ruler.
