I don't know who you're talking to, but based on the exchanges here I know it ain't me. I get a kick out of jono and classic's humor and personalities and enjoy the occasional banter with them, but I'm not about to "listen in awe" merely because they happen to be better than the average joe at riding a bike. To make that your standard for valuing and respecting someone else is . . . well . . . that's simply retarded. If the occasion ever arises that I listen to them in awe, it will only be because they've earned my respect as individual human-beings.
As for classic's use of the term seppo or lack thereof, it's a bit self-absorbed to assume that it really matters to the rest of us or has any effect either way. Use it, don't use it, I really don't care. The end result is only a reflection on the individual.
