Sheldon Brown

I propose that this guy be made the king of /n/, a bit like how Richard Stallman is the de facto "king" of /g/.

There are massive differences of course though - Sheldon was a normal and functional human being with a family, and also he was extremely knowledgeable and shared his wealth of knowledge with the world FOR FREE. He has benefitted humanity greatly. The number of cyclists he has benefitted must be very large. In fact surely there is no other person who is more important to cyclists in the modern age, and especially to the kind of cyclists on /n/ who always have questions and always want to learn more about their bikes and how they can fix or improve them, etc.

RMS, by contrast, eats foot fungus. The only worthwhile thing he ever did was GCC and he was only partly responsible for that.

So yeah, Sheldon Brown should be the king of /n/. All those in favour say "aye".
