Everyone knows who reidman is. Some even know reid personally. Although his posts are rare, they tend to get alot of attention. This attention is very mixed. Some replies are to extent of "OMG reidman! Wow, you're so cool!" or the opposite, like "reid you jerk, where are you?"

Let's face it, reid's just a cool guy. Some people think lower of other because they think that the others are just sicking up to the webmaster. It's quite possible that some of them are. But I, personally, just think reid's a cool person. He's a good worker, although people may or may not pay attention to this fact. He's funny, although this trait is subject to opinion. Reidman is also very fair, intelligent, and he retains morals on his site.

One of the biggest cases where people accuse other members of "brown-nosing" is in regards to Five Iron Frenzy. I'll be honest, I didn't really like them at first. I had heard the "The Are Not My Pants Collection", so I really just started off on the wrong foot. I finally took pther people's advice and listened to some other songs and-- uh oh! News Breakthrough: THEY'RE A COOL BAND!!! They simply sound great. So I APPRECIATE reidman recommending the band to everyone, but I really started liking the band on my own. And so have, I bet, many others.

Reid doesn't have a thankless job. He's earned the respect of even his toughest critics (except for those silly "equal rights activists") with the amount of work he gets done, while still pulling off leading a real life. It's an interesting thought, thinking of all those people he must see everyday who never once realize how widely respected this guy they're looking at is. And I'm pretty sure that Reid makes no attempt to inform them (outside of a possible "Hey, have ever heard of a game called EarthBound?"). I've seen the website of the company he's currently working for. Lucky guy, being able to do something creative for a living. He's worked to get to this position, though, so...

The likeliness of me and reidman ever meeting? Eh, not so good. Although he'd be an awesome guy to get to know, I would probably only bother the poor guy. I'm just another supporter. Go reid!
