The fact that he's on this list is hard to take seriously. =P
I can't say I know him personally and I haven't been on this site very long, but from what I've seen he gives fair ratings and reviews without sounding too harsh. Plus his personality seems pretty sexy.

I take myself very seriously!

UPDATE: For the record, I think its funny as hell that I'm taken seriously. I guess I got my chops with the Marines and all and when it comes to my work in satellite and home theater I'm a hardcore professional, but childlike wonderment is not lost on numbah, people...

[N]umbah16tdhaha has a wonderful sense of humor, but at the same time he can be critical- and will eat you alive if your facts aren't straight. He is a straight-shooter (like Donovan points out), and rarely ever pulls his punches. And he has earned the respect of many here on RateItAll. Undoubtedly, I do have an enormous amount of respect for him.

He isn't at the top of the RIA Hall of Fame for nothing. [N]umbah does his homework, obviously. For the newbies of this site: learn from this reviewer (like I have)- you'll be educated.

Why not?

He's simultaneously tops among the 'funniest' and the 'take seriously' lists, which should not necessarily be a contradiction, considering how seriously he takes his humor (or else: how earnest he can be about his avocation).

His silly nature belies his seriousness at times. Pay attention to this one. :)

How seriously can you take a person who still plays with child toys and impersonates a child hero, LOL. Seriously, I respect him for who he is, regardless of whether I like him or not. And I will take him as seriously as he takes himself, which, on some occasions he doesn't.

Numbah is a straight shooter. He tells it like it is and doesn't hold back. I think you can and should take him serious.

You'd better start taking him seriously, or the Illuminati is gonna getcha!

I honestly can't take him very seriously. Have you ever noticed how Numbah is usually on everyone's lists atleast ONCE?

I have know the guy for 9 years, and I don't trust a thing he says! lol
