Who are some of your most favorite AZ posters and why ???

I know I posted before. I see all sorts of names that I would have posted, if I'd thought of them at the time. Like I was saying before, this is just a great big happy place to be and I don't think it would be nearly as enjoyable without anyone that's a part of it, even though some sorta push some buttons, once in a while. :)
 
I like everytone here for alot of different reason, i dont dislike anyone, and i appericate everyones posts,

one person who stands out and hasnt been named in this thread(that I saw) is Cardone, Billy is a outstanding pool player, commentator, friend, ambassoder to the sport, historian, etc. I really really hold him in high regard.

i have to go now, Mike Massey is here, and yes he beat me bad-real bad, So I have to go out there and sweat him playing another friend. I wish i was playing like yesterday, it wouldnt have been so bad. He is a great guy a friend of a friend and is in town,
 
What a warm and fuzzy thread!


As has already been stated everyone makes this site what it is. Everyone adds something to the stew and it would not taste the same without all of it!

I think I may have got off on the wrong foot with a few on here, but have tried to back off a bit and chill out.

I have way too many strong opinions ( some are even correct!:p) on too many topics that other people also feel strongly about. Sometimes I can ruffle a few feathers, but in the end all is good. I respect everyone's take on here and try to add what I can to the mix.


Here's to another great year on AZ!

Jay Helfert --- for his knowledge of pool players past and present, pool politics past and present and pool history

Terry Ardeno --- for his unmatched sense and appreciation of pool history and nostalgia, for his on-the-fly encapsualtions of the accomplishments of players past, and for the general sincerity of his communications

Williebetmore --- for insightful, well-written posts on many subjects, but especially those recounting gatherings with pros and other AZBers in the Betmore basement, one of AZB's unofficial shrines

Roy Steffensen --- for keeping me advised on what's going om in European pool and for sharing European perspectives on American pool.

Dozens of other AZBers get very high marks from me. This forum is teeming with great posters, all of whom I appreciate very much.

Some additional posters who are consisently solid providers of the kind of information I tend to seek on the forum are Juegabillar, Bob Jewett, JB Cases, CrownCityCorey, JAM, Tate, Scott Lee and Bandido.

As others have suggested, many make a very solid contribution in these parts, but I'll disagree with the suggestion that everybody belongs on a list of favorites. Some in our midst clearly go the extra yard to find or share information, to share their experiences, to debate with tact and insight about the state and future of the sport, and to offer insights into how others can become better, more knowledgeable, pool players. Each of us seeks a different experience on the forum, and those I've named are just a sampling of those who make my forum experience so enlightening. I'm sure that I've left out many of my personal favorites, but you know who you are, and thanks for everything.
 
Terry Ardeno is like an encyclopedia and a real good guy.
SJM can have such a calming effect on the storm.
SJD in PHX is one of my favorites because he is Dick.
Wincordona is informative and tactful. He is a sharp bird.
Grady is just that Grady. He will never change and I hope he doesn't.
Freddy is an absolute riot and a memory like a steel trap.
Jay is tactful as well until the dog bites his ass.
AKA Trigger is just an absolute Seetheart and I'm her biggest fan.
Blackjack has mellowed a bit, but can be riled up and I love that. The man lives by his convictions and that I admire.
$Bill sends me some of the craziest E-Mails in the world and knows his way around the poolroom.
J Henderson doesn't post enough, but it's always intresting.
If you have never met TX Poolnut,,,, well he is even nicer in person. A class act.
There are many more on here who's views and opinions I great respect and appreciate.

To Mike, Staff, and Mr. Wilson, you guys do one hell of a job.

Finally, to SMorg: You are one very, very twisted individual. To know him is to love him.
 
There are so many great posters here, incredible stories, and lots of info....the very few that cause issues don't last long...

Both Blackjack and Easy-E have gone out of their way to help at any request....whether PM's or in person....great people...

Shooting Arts....never sent him a PM or anything, but EVERY single post I have read of his is a good read and of value....
 
And Some Pie And Ice Cream................and a Diet soda.

Thank you. I like almost everyone here.
In my current state of mind, I could only like everyone more if they were baked for 30 minutes per pound at 350 degrees and served with some potatoes and gravy.

LWW and Hondo for their inciteful posts!

I had to laugh at this one. These two are polar opposites - fire and ice, black and white, ying and yang, day and night. About the only thing they might agree on is that cue balls are round.
 
to steal a recent quote from Pacman Jones, "I love me some me", lol.

Seriously, there are a ton of posters that I consider friends even if I've never met them and some of them I've actually had the pleasure of meeting.

A few of my favorites that come to mind are ktown, Jay, fatboy, easy, iba, bigskyjake, disco, trigger, JCIN, BigNasty, deadpoked, smorg, spider, bval, lenny, Roy, smoke, The King, worldison, Iowa Player, Rackmsucker, justabouta, Terry and a ton of others that I've bet with or argued with at some time or other.

This post has probably been done several times but the face of AZ and the people who post here at AZ often change with it ... So I'm asking who are your favorite posters here and why ?

Smorgie - for obvious reasons is one of mine ... He is funny though his humor is sometimes off the wall... He is well respected and a good guy in general and you can't help but to feel for him with his recent health issues or his holiday blues ... And it don't hurt that he is setting at the top of the reputation leader board ...lol....

Iowa Player - His posts are always honest and sincere and he is a great person... I actually got to know him becuase of a deal that went bad ... Though it was nothing I was selling nor anything I had or owned I got in the middle of the deal somehow when asked my opinion... The deal did not go off as planned and I ended up going to the other party to make sure Iowa got back what was his and both sides wprked everything out ... I'm sure it would of happened the same way without me being involved but it all worked for the best I guess ... Since then Iowa and I have always got along great ... And he is one of my favs on here ...

Jam - I just like some of the articles that she brings to the forum ... I love her stories on Kieth though she is a little biased ...lol... And for good reason I may add... Jam's writting style and sincerity are why she is one of my favorites on here.

Terry A. - He is a great guy who still loves his wife...lol... He has always been kind and respectful to me even when I came on here as a newbie ... He promised me some Nick Varner stories that I have yet to see and look forward to seeing when he gets the time ... But Terry A... Is one of those posters that make AZ the great place it is ...

Corvette - I like Corvette for his on the edge writting style ... He is not afraid to put his opinions out there good or bad ... Of course living in this great state of Georgia that almost comes natural ... When you open one of Corvette's posts you never know what your gonna get and that helps to keep AZ a very fun place to be ...

Fatboy - He catches alot of flack be it for his spelling or his infamous wealth ... But he takes it all in stride and continues any harsh feelings he is also able to take a joke well... He also posts some very good information though at times you have to decipher the code ... He is sincere in his ambitions to help and promote the game we all love ... And for those of us that love the game that is something we all love to see ...

Jay Helfert ... Another poster much like in the mode of Terry A. honest and sincere and a wealth of knowledge ... Always willing to help out in fact when I got my table here at the house he set me up with a nice rack and some centinnials that I use every day ... Thanks Jay ...

Joey A. - A well respected member here ... His posts do not come often enough but when they do they are worth reading ... When you get a complment from him you know you have earned it ... AZ needs alot more like Joey A.

Pinocchio - This guy has been great to me ... Again he calls them as he sees them and I am glad that he has befriended me .... He is one I look forward to here on AZ ...

Milo- is another I seldom see her post often enough but enjoy reading when she does Love to follow her pool playing adventures also ... A great member of AZ ...

Spiderwebbcomm - for all his great posts and great information ....

Fast Lenny - For OTR ... And his good posting ...

Rossaroni - This poster has been a great help to me since being here at AZ... Be it via posting or wanted for sale always been excellent to me ...

Big Truck - For his posting and kind heart ...

I know I have missed many and will mostly likly come back in to add more but these are the ones right off the top of my head ... But hwat and who are you most favorite posters .... And why ???
