Who is the most knowledgeable poster on SF?

post #1 of 126
Thread Starter 
Using this definition:

knowl⋅edge⋅a⋅ble
  /ˈnɒlɪdʒəbəl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [nol-i-juh-buhl] Show IPA

-adjective
possessing or exhibiting knowledge, insight, or understanding; intelligent; well-informed; discerning; perceptive.

From here.

Who do you think is the most knowledgeable poster on SF? For these purpose we will consider total and general knowledge. Intelligence is obviously related but not exactly the same.

Of course I get to vote first and I'll vote for myself. But I have as much chance as Washington does to win the Super Bowl. I'm strong on Texas history and anecdotes and in people I know but very weak in many other areas like clothes, shoes, music ( other than late 1960s and early 70s stuff which I am expert on ) and much other general stuff like current movies and actors. I do think I'm knowledgeable politically but my views are partisan.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll leave some worthy candidates out and regret it later but remember there is a choice of "Other, please comment".

This time I'll start with Matt and Dopey precluding the need for a knowledge-off! Vox comes to mind when he is serious. JLibourel for varied knowledge. Manton should be a contender and has varied knowledge ( clothes, cooking, politics, etc ). I like RedCaimans stuff as I do GDL. AF is a long shot but the right should be included. Fuuma is good but sometimes I feel a debater at work rather than a knowledgeable poster. Rach is extremely knowledgeable IMO. Does Medwards ever post here? Teacher and Dakota Rube rate a nod. And a fan favorite, RJman is not forgotten. Tokyo Slim makes it as a long shot and conne for no reason.

I know I'll get shit for leaving some worthy contenders out but remember the option of, "Other, please explain".

JLibourel is the only poster who is more than 100 years old, so I would say Jan.

He's lived through both world wars, was freed by Abraham Lincoln, and introduced prostitution into the state of California. I forget which Oxbridge college he attended, but it's the one where he invented the blazer. He co-wrote Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας.

Most importantly, he has fathered several Senior Members. So, by natural right, their knowledge is his.

That explains SOO much. You mean JLibourel, Medwards and welldressedfellow aren't all the same person?

Thank you for the explanation, for a second there I thought you went senile.

Agreed, that's the first one I missed. Last time I missed Matt and Dopey and Matt said I didn't love him! I hope Fuuma doesn't say the same. I hardly know him.

Medwards is in and has 3 votes. Did you vote for him?

Vote early and vote often. Poll closes Xmas day.

Holy shit rnoldh: are you daft? I am both humbled and honored that you've chosen to include me in the list of candidates, but I sincerely hope no one wastes their vote on me.

Oman, You are guilty of conflation and subconcious transformation.

That's a fancy way of saying conne can drink you under the table.
