I read that Shayne Culpepper posted here before (the article said it was to confront posters that were bashing her). I believe Alan Webb posted here also.
Wouldn't be surprised if Eminem has posted here.
The obvious answer is Jason Rexing. All other nominees are for second most significant.
Most significant.....kind of an odd way to frame this question. Most famous, most knowldegeable....in the context of running or in general.
Not sure of the criterion.

On what topic did Gladwell post?
Has anyone ever seen Malcom Gladwell and Craig Masback in the same room together? --just saying.
Significant running related folks who are brave enough to have posted under their real names or have a handle that most people know include:
Renato Canova
Jack Daniels
Craig Virgin
Marius Bakken
Jim Spivey
George Malley
Pete Magill
Ed Whitlock
Henry Rono
Wejo
I'm sure there are many others. As far as people who are famous for things other than running, Malcolm Gladwell and George Gilder are the only ones I can think of. There are likely others. Al Gore probably posts in all the global warming threads.
The better question is: What "significant" poster is dumb enough to come out in the open and reveal their true identity?
Coach K and Eric Heiden have both posted on the forum.
Sly Steve Silvey
I'm a famous porn star and I've made some informative posts.
Paula Radcliffe posted here once.
