A driving licence is a licence to kill.

A driving licence is not a licence to kill, never has been.


What sort of bike was he riding?

Please can you also remind the other poster who posts off-topic material to
do the same.

Certainly not. They would all die of heart attacks & strokes immediately.

It would also make them over confident & they would start taking
unnecessary risks.

And you like Mr. Mason so you consider it acceptable for him to make
off-topic posts but not Doug. That's not very even-handed is it?

No, I don't know enough of Simon to say I like him, but I certainly
don't dislike him and he posts a shed-load more on-topic stuff than
many others in here so I don't worry about other stuff as I think his
heart is in the right place for the group .. I don't actually 'like'
anyone as such, I don't 'know' enough of anyone to go that far. Some
posters I enjoy reading and like their style, some I don't, simple as.

When has usenet been even-handed?

As it happens I think I am usually very even-handed. I have responded
negatively to SM in the past, as I have to many other cyclists and
drivers. I'm a petrol-head first as well as a cyclist, so my views are
mostly mid-stream, I think. In this case I intensely dislike Doug, I'm
pretty ambivalent towards most other posters.

And wouldn't some of them die from being strangled by the straps?

Wasn't someone about to post the data on that a few months ago?

A legal expert or something?
