ST Poster you'd most like to meet and why	Can't Post

Calm down [insert your name], this is not about the st hottie you want to meet. It is also a poster not poser thread.

Seriously, I'm a professional lurker (0.0) posts a day for over a year, but am curious of all the people here you want to meet and why. If nothing else, to show them their advice matters. There are tons of troll or b@itch threads but none of thanks. I, myself, once was set straight by Paulo re: a nutrition plan for my first IM before ST changed. He was right, I was wrong. That said the poster I'd most like to meet would be DevPaul, even though I don't think he ever responded to anyone of my 0.0 posts a day.

Why: He is always sincere and always provides logical advice which is rarely disputed on this ever-changing board.

For those of you who wish to twist everything around, feel free to list the "poser" or poster you least would like to meet and why in addition to correcting all the

I'm fortunate enough to have met several of the most prolific ST'ers over the course of my 4 years on ST including h20fun (the first ST'er I ever met!), Record10Carbon, DevPaul, Tom Demerly and his wife (bikesportgirl), Smartasscoach (Paulo), Khai, rroof, support crew, trackieclm (formerly ironclm), jonnyo, rappstar, and many, many others too numerous to mention. I can honestly say every single one of them have been a pleasure to meet and hang out with. Looking forward to meeting Dan (Slowman) one of these days! I think many of us would love to meet Swimfan, but I don't believe that will ever happen!

Wow. Good question. I'm going to picka few if you don't mind:

swimfan: His caustic sense of humor is tinged with wisdom and condor. There may be a lot going on there.

Tom A.: Smart man, a lot to be learned.

Andrew Coggan: As above.

Dev Paul: He's done a lot for the forum: a philanthropist and team builder.

Now, having mentioned those I sould point out that I've been fortunate enough to meet ST'ers around the world, from Thailand to France, and I've always been pleased to make their acquaintance.

Dev Paul, Tom D, Khai, Support Crew.

All of the above show insight, humour and a realistic point of view. None is ever harsh, cutting or mean, but supportive and thoughtful.

i've been to xantusia three times and have been fortunate enough to meet many ST'ers. khai/andypants are two of the funniest people...err canadians i've ever met, monty & emilio are triathlon historians not to mention great bartenders, iron/trackieclm has been there/done that, paul thomas is a natural born story teller, and ALL the chicas from the gals of ST weekend (i got to be honorary cabana boy the first two years) are as intelligent/charming in person as they are online.

that said, i'm gonna have to go with Tibbs...he's from TEXAS plus who else had(has) part of this forum named after them?

I had the great pleasure of meeting Paulo, Jonnyo, Jodi, and Miranda at IMCDA07. Very nice people, all. (Yes, even you, Paulo.) :-)

I also briefly met a bunch of others at IMCDA08...as I was handing out water in T2. (I'm shocked that none of you have come forward to this day to say thanks!) ;-)

I'd put John Cobb at the top of the list of STers I'd like to meet in the future -- I think I could learn more from him over a few beers than I could from an entire cycling with power textbook. ;)

Same, but I was picking one person so I chose the Godfather of tri bikes. I would like to visit your store, there is no such thing as a tri store in NZ (though a couple like to think they are) and no matter how much I realise that so much of what is offered is hype - I'm still a bike geek and like being where bikes are.

Have you thought about doing IMNZ again, I'm much faster than last time you came down so wouldn't be beaten by a couple of minutes again...

Yes, Tibbs would be it, then Tom D, then DevPaul. I shouted "go Dev" to Dev at IMC this year from the beer garden, but that was as close as I got to meeting the man.

I've met a lot of STers too (Khai my West-sayeed Bro, SimpleS, PowerGyoza, Monty, Dan, Emilio, The Bjorn, ironclm, MonicaB, Hallie, DawnT, Drager, Erika, TriBodyBoarder, Miranda, Chip, you my friend, DutchBoy, Uncle Gimpy, Parkito... man it just goes on and on).

Has it been that long since we've had a popularity contest around here? Sheesh, where does the time go? :-p

I've been fortunate to meet a ton of ST'ers over the last 4 seasons. To a person, they are all folks I was glad and honored to meet.
Well ok, except for Parkito. I've got to stop sleeping with him. I think that dude is stalking me. hahaha! ;-)

Knowing Dev means that eventually I'll meet every triathlete everywhere. He is like the mayor/ambassador/nexus of the AG tri world.

I'll get to meet quite a few more of the ST crew next weekend, and I'm very much looking forward to that.
I've got a great big keg of whoop-ass to share with all my old and new friends! ;-)

I have met lots of Slowtwitchers over the years and it has always been a very positive experience. Looking forward to meet a few more in Kona.

One more thing, I have met way more lurkers than posters. :-)
