ARBR has gone downhill
Ah. Sherman is afield. Glad to hear he's not serving as a human shield for
some insurgent group in I**q. That would have been just too vacuous for words. "skip" "harv" wrote in message ... Actually, I think Tom has to go afield in his capacity as a civil engineer. I don't think he'd back away from electronic brickbats and a surly mob of newsgroupies wielding smoky torches and wooden pitchforks. However for him to waste his intellect trying to persuade E.D.that his aguments are vacuous is like King Arthur trying to convince the Black Knight that his wounds are mortal. (sketch in Monty Python's The Holy Grail). |

Where'd I put my torch and pitchfork from the good ole brownshirt days?!?!?!... These days I am mostly staying in motels in the far west Chicago suburbs. I did spend a couple of days recently at the Elgin Mental Health Center, however. [1] [1] Work related - sorry to disappoint those who were hoping I had been declared criminally insane.

I remember the good old days when there were posts by the likes of Beth, or Marci, or Melanie, and I am sure I am leaving out others. I miss folks with a good sense of humor like Scott, or those that have a passion for cycling and broad experience and the ability to express themselves beautifully like Kent Peterson.... Beth went to the dogs (a Google search reveals recent posts by her on rec.pets.dogs.behavior). Marci has posted recently. Melanie disappeared from a.r.b.r. long before most of the OT flamewars started (and shortly after purchasing a Longbikes Eliminator and finding the performance to be somewhat disappointing compared to her Lightning Stealth).

These OT-posts attract attention because we are all human beings after all, it's kind of an ambivalent dilemma: On the one hand we feel we should stay away from this threads, but on the other they are corresponding to our lowest instincts. Many of us stare fascinated at you and your counterparts awaiting eagerly the next sensations of your political mud-wrestling.... Some of us just feel a need to correct misinformation.

One should think there are subjects enough to discuss without the need for digressing to political themes.... There are some who have stated that postings on recumbent trikes are off-topic and not a proper subject for discussion on alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent.

OT has almost destroyed arbr. I hear you, this place has gone to the dogs now that those lamer benter types took over and ran out all us euro type roadies. Yes, even the president of the Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club admitted to being interest in getting a lightweight, high performance recumbent. Don't worry Fabrizio, someday you will be able to ride your recumbent in front of your friends without them ridiculing you. Won't it be a relief to come out of the closet and get off that uncomfortable saddle? Tom Sherman - Planet Earth |
