All right, let’s get down to brass tacks, no more f’n around: 1. What is the greatest OP ever in the History of the SDMB? 2. What is the greatest thread?? 3. Who is the most awesome-most poster ever??? Links to said threads would be appreciated!!! Just to be fair, I’m taking myself out of the running for all three categories!!! 😃 ---

Hmm, for the ultimate thread, I’d have to say it’s [The Telemarketer Speaks. I Respond](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51270) by **Cervaise**. Damned funny, that one. As for the others, I couldn’t hazard a guess. ---

I’ve enjoyed going back and reading Coldfire’s thread **May 5, 1945 We Shall Remember/** [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23572](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23572) ---

Aw, **Vinnie** , that’s too hard. But for _most improved_ poster, I’d have to say **Ex Tank’s** in the running. From big mouth hardass to “mostly harmless” in pretty short order. 😃 Peace, mangeorge ---

Thanks for the plug, **Tuckerfan.** However, even though I’ve grown to be rather proud of my rant, I’m not ashamed to admit it pales in comparison to two all-time classic threads: [How to kill evil Nazi Groundhogs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=15906) and [Funny things said during love making/intimate moments](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=24960). As far as the greatest OP ever, I will forever and always have a soft spot for [a monkey that I wish for](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=37864). The first post is funny enough, but it’s the followup that makes it a classic. ---

Farrah? Yuck. 🙂 I’d like to think I’m the ultimate poster, but I’m not. ---

One of my all time favlorite threads, that I’ve sent to everybody I know (and received rave reviews in return) has been the [Infamous Goat Cannon Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41020), surely a classic in the field. And, yes, **Cervaise** ’s response to the telemarketer is another hoot of clinical dissection. Generally consistent best poster? IMHO, that would be **Fenris** who shares a strong interest in science fiction, is very well read, has an intelligent point of view and rants exceedingly well when the situation calls for it. Enjoy his mastery in [Iron Chef Part Quatro](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=75472) ---

Well, I don’t mean to point out the obvious, but, er, um, uh… I’m going to. **WallyM7** was probably the greatest poster. He was only hear for awhile, but he had an incredible post rate and those posts were high quality. ---

Far, far to many thread for me to pick a favorite. > [@](#): > > Who is the most awesome-most poster ever??? well, I guess I’ll waffle a bit here – It needs to be broken down. awesome-most, knows their shit and always adds something of value? **tomndebb**. awesome-most, most common sense, no BS? tie between **andros** and **jodi**. awesome-most, most repected? **Polycarp**. awesome-most, funniest? **Uke Ike**. awesome-most, don’t step on their toes or you’ll find yourself with a new asshole? tie, **neuro-trash grrrl** and old style, more angry (he seems more calm as of late), **pldennison**. A nod to **Mr Cynical** (I still don’t like his new name.) awesome most, “everyone gather 'rouund, he’s about to tell a story!” **Wally**. awesome-most, biggest fookin idiot? **fatherjohn** , hands down. awesome most, class clown type? **Whammo**. I could go on. But I won’t. ---
