Whatever happened to:

1) John Verheul?

2) Joe Cipale?

3) Bill Lloyd?

4) Jim Quinn?

5) Bonnie Rider-Martin?

6) Patrick O'Grady?

7) Brian Plouffe?

And a whole host of others? And what do we do to get them back?

Last I knew John's busy coaching still but I haven't heard from him in
a while, and you can see what Pat's been up to any time at:

Look in the mirror.

They got busy, or dropped out, or they just got
tired of continual argumentation and ill-informed
trolling, a lot of which is perpetuated by you.
Like: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.racing/msg/4d65509bacb7bcb9
So stop with the self-congratulating nostalgia.

Thanks,
Ben

Too bad you're not as effective as you believe Ben. Fact is that you've been
one of those guys who contributes almost nothing right from the start. Not
that there's anything wrong with that of course.

So you really want those people to come back, Tom? Well, Dr. Ku, hop in your
****tardis, go back in time and tell them, "Don't go! We need you to be around in
2008 so I can tell you how little you really know compared to MEEEEE!!!"

I hope you won't mind if I steal that little gem and use it with
absolutely no recognition of your involvement. It's a time honored
tradition in jocular circles.

Tom, it isn't about whether or not I contribute
more or less than you. It's about your style of
communication. You continually resort to whining
and insults, and then you wonder why the other kids
have left the playground and you're standing alone.
You need attention, and you choose an effective
way of getting it, but it doesn't seem like you
enjoy it very much.

What's the charge for yanking the football away, and has this been
written up anywhere as groundbreaking alternative therapy?

I think you missed my point. You don't contribute at all. You're all about
anything other than bicycle racing.

> It's about your style of communication.

I note that you still aren't about bicycle racing.

Try not to be such a putz. It gives putzes a bad name. Ben did
address your question. You act like an asshole and people go away.
Why does this surprise you?

BTW, dispensing abuse and ego driven argumentation is not
contributing.

Consider it a contribution into AI research, probably funded by a grant
from greg.

Gosh, TK, why don't you tell us all about the last bicycle race that
you won. You know, the training, the blow-by-blow, how it all shook
out, etc. etc. --D-y
