One important thing to remember about many of these "all-stars" is that they're honestly just regular folk like you and I, but are especially dedicated and passionate about this program. I know that when I was in high school, I basically learned almost all of my technical skills from this these forums.

I'd suggest for those of you that happen to meet these people, please take the time to just thank them for their contributions on the forums, technical or otherwise. I think FIRST is filled with people who are deeply underappreciated, and knowing that you've helped someone out or taught them something is very rewarding.

Just my two cents,

Matt
