The new leaders of RBR (2004) are....

Ronde Champ

Hey,

Who are the top three RBR contributors? I figure with all
the temporary July RBR visitors, it's time to give credit
to those who deserve it.

This place gets like 50 posts in all of December, now it's
50 an hour!

Who are the most helpful, wisest, biggest Trolls, etc...
Maybe a best First Post by a Newbie award, too!

Thanks, Ronde Champ (formerly Ronde Chumpion) Supreme
Ruler RBR 2004

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Kurgen
Gringioni, who administered the epithet "dumbass" with
considerable aplomb?

Where were you when rbr sorted out the rbr gods? The only
thing has changed is that there is no supreme ruler now.
It's pretty much like Iraq, newsgroup without a
totalitarian dictator who decides who stays and who leaves.
Newbies just run the gauntlet of random rbr terrorists and
let the chips fall where they may. Henry's gone and those
are big shoes to fill.

No Supreme Ruler would ask for opinions - they would dictate
the results. Bogus. Especially as no one was competing for
your categories one and two, you could have given the
jerseys to anyone.

Is the disparity between the number of posts all that
surprising? How much (road) racing goes on in December?

It's no wonder that more people are interested in the TDF
than say the tour of Flanders. I say more power to the TDF
hype. The way I see it, the more people that tune in to the
sport at anytime and gain some appreciation for it, the more
safe I am on the roads from wacko drivers that don't "get"
the sport.

I personally catch all the races that fit into my busy
schedule. But the TDF is huge and I get more interested than
usual, and it prompts me to post. Otherwise I only post when
I go bi-polar and I see something that pisses me off.

Not that you really care - nor do I for that matter. See
what I mean about the bi-polar thing.

Not in Flanders they aren't. And I would trade the Tour for
the spring classics.

Kinda fish-in barrel situation for those who are so inclined
just now, Bruce.

Not a zero, an oval. That was Ken trying to draw a
velodrome.

I have to admit, that is one phrase I never quite
understood. Doesn't it all depend on where the person
stops forgetting? There are a few that claim I've
forgotten more than I ever knew. They don't seem to be
saying in a good sense...

Carl is FAIR GAME for all accusations, even if 99.9% of them
are completely not true.

I like Warren's Oval Analogy though.

Oh yeah, my goof: _Bill Crwthr_ (not "Bob") is the
TritonRider I was trying to ID as a TOP RBR Leader.

Today's Tour (stage 5) is being shattered by Winds and Rain.
