Not a flame or troll post, just an observation.
I don't bother reading more than the first 15 posts in any thread, even
those I myself have started. Why? Because that's about as far as I have ever gotten before it is consumed with off topic flame posts and replies. This group sounds less like a bicycle tech group and more like Orange County Choppers. r.b.misc is just as bad, but it has it's own group of resident trolls (many of which are probably the same person under different monikers) to blame for a lot of that. This group does to, but many f the flame threads are started by the "decent" posters. Let's stick to the subjects at hand, PLEASE? if you have to insult people, E-mail them. :-3( - - Compliments of: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" If you want to E-mail me use: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net My website: http://geocities.com/czcorner |

You may miss pertinent things they have to say, but a lot of the time, the things they say are not that pertinent anyhow. |
