Talk of bans and whatnot this week got me thinking: Which hypothetical ban would “hurt” the forum the most?
Devashish_PaulJackmottCogganCarronPauloRoadHouse (j/k)Rappstar (I know, he works here, just in terms of contribution)Slowman (" ")DemerlyOther ______________
Dev and Jackmott are just swell in my book. Slowman and Fleck always have something wise to say. I like Slowman’s word associations the other day:
There will be no accusations made against Lance Armstrong, Niel Armstrong, Kristin Armstrong, Kristin Hanson, the Hanson Twins, The Thompson Twins, Thompson’s Water Seal, Navy SEALS, Old Navy, Old Spice, The Spice Girls, Girls Gone Wild, Wild Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom, Magic Johnson, Johnson & Johnson
Besides Dan & Jordan who are the hamsters that keep this place going, I’d probably miss Demerly the most. I like his insight and perspective on things. I like his “new” association with TriSports and enjoy his reviews.
I have Coggan’s book so he is of no further use to me.
I’m a sucker for the “underdog” so I kinda miss Frank Glad Tom D is back writing again as I vote his posts as the most helpful and informative. Don’t have much to say about AC except he is a fellow Miseryiouan so I should support the home team. Dev’s post make me jealous because he is having way too much fun riding all over the world. Rappstar’s post bring a sobering reality that I suck at this sport. And Dan, sounds like the kinda guy I’d like to have as a boss.
Tom Demerly’s contributions are such that he should be give part ownership of ST. Trisports was very wise to bring him in after things didn’t workout with Tom’s store. Someone with money to invest would do well to use Tom’s talents and start a tri website of their own.
Tom A. is an agendaless, brass tacks source of info. He has helped me with saddle positioning, bike knowledge and a myriad of other things. Seems like a great person, owe him many Sapporo’s at the sushi bar one day.
