Here it is a year ago when I first identified the crack:

You found a crack in an integral structural portion of
the front fork,

Sure did. Not sure about the back fork though.

the fork that hits everything first,

If you're a smooth rider, it doesn't.

the fork that absorbs the impact on downhills,
log piles, rock gardens, running over wildlife.

Where did I say I did all this? Does riding a mountain bike *require* doing
all these?

Yet you continued to ride on it.

And...

The mind boggles.

Yeah, it'd boggle my mind too if I were small-minded.

Are you campaigning for a Darwin Award?

Nope - I wanted to ride. If you can't accept a certain level of risk, go
cry back home.
