You can find the exact same type of posts in just about any newsgroup
regardless of the subject. It's a byproduct of the relative anonymity
of the Internet. As for any "Bicycling Personality", I don't believe
there is one. The regulars here are a very diverse group with widely
differing attitudes and opinions about a multitude of subjects. I'd
venture a guess that we all agree on just three things. First, that
bicycles are cool. Second, we are tired of spam postings. Third,
Commandante Banana is a pain. (But I repeat myself with the latter
two.)

You think it's bad here..... check out alt.comp.freeware. There's a bloody
war going on and none of it's about software. It's real personal.
