For me, it's Handy Andy. He gives a good attitude when tackling problems and helping out others. Always very polite and formal and is very tolerable towards beginners (even those who ask bad questions).
Handy Andy! He is crazy tolerant. He's also very polite and also sometimes humorous. Also, he makes sure that everything he says is 200% accurate.
JLBorges is also very tolerant. You can always expect good things from his code snippets. JLBorges is the most professional forumer in this forum in my opinion.
Peter87 is also very professional. And also quite knowledgeable.
Everybody else in this forum is equally awesome though.
WOAH WOAH WOAH (first time I have used caps to reply In onomatepia, so this is serious)
Nobody has such attributes. But (if you believe in him) the one and only god
You must be brain dead because you forgot what code tags are for.
Everyone who keeps helping others bring their own areas of strength and weaknesses to the table. To single out one person really doesn't recognize the others.

It's not that one person is being compared with the rest of the forumers. The rest of the forumers are equally good.
This thread is about who you think your role model is. I mentioned those three people not because I consider them to be better than all other forumers here, but I want them to feel appreciated (if at all they happened to have read my post). There are a lot of other tolerant forumers too so you should feel appreciated too if you're reading this .-.!
I just picked those three people because I learnt a lot from them when I joined this forum. They were really very helpful to me and I have learnt a lot from their posts. They're the first three names that pop to my head when I think about this forum.

Not what I see the thread is about. The title screams "Pick One!"
I've learned and continue to learn from a number of the regulars. To say any single one of them is "The Best" is obnoxiously clique-ish and rather dismissive of the for-free work everyone of the regulars do.
So, no, I can't pick just one. Everyone that continues to volunteer their time and skull sweat to help others learn is IMO the best.
Want to dispute my understanding? How do you hand-wave away this?
Someone who I found to be very helpful with what I see as one of his areas of expertise, random numbers, and still continues to be helpful so far has not been mentioned:
Duthomhas.
And there have been people wanting to learn who have encouraged others to excel at going beyond a rote response when giving advice.
PiggiesGoSqueal is one of those "noobs."
The entire premise of this thread I find highly obnoxious and juvenile, to single out one person when so many freely give.
