You can cite peer-reviewed studies published in journals with impeccable credentials, statistically sound surveys, and expert opinions, until you're blue in the face and it won't matter to the people that have a vested interest in ignorance. Errr... what facts are those? You assertion that a cheap Chinese flashlight is the nirvana of bicycle lighting? Or that it is impossible to drill a hole in a tube without a completely equipped machine shop? As for impeccable credentials... I've told you mine but strangely enough you haven't mentioned yours... is this because you don't have any? That you make your profound statements based solely on your imagination? -- cheers, John B. |

Frank "Burn, Burn" Krygowski is RBT's self-appointed Witchfinder-General and Slow Johnny is the rat who scurries at his heels.

I get paid $680 per month on the city council. It's way less than minimum wage! It actually came down since they stopped an included stipend for cell phone and internet. Only in large cities are the politicians paid anything close to a real salary. In some cities the City Council members don't get any money at all. As to our cars, my wife's 2014 Prius was purchased before I was elected. My 2017 Camry replaced a 1996 Camry. Have you been listening to Frank's stories again?! |

Does this bother you? Are we also going to discuss your pension and what you do with it? Well I just wish that it were true that the wages were good! In reality they're terrible. Sounds like John is following Frank into the abyss of lies... I posted no lies. I posted statements copied and pasted from Scharf's websites that indicate he hopes to make some money from people's purchases of devices he recommends. Those statements prove something else he used to have posted on his sites, which I previously quoted he He engages in "guerilla marketing" by posting his recommendations to newsgroups like this one. I doubt he makes much money from this, which is why I referred to pocket change. But who knows? If someone actually believes his hype and buys a "complete, well-equipped machine shop" (or however he phrased it) just to install a Rivnut, maybe the commission will be significant! ;-) -- - Frank Krygowski |

I have never said Jute was in my kill file. I don't even have a kill file. I have said I read very little of Jute's postings; and the little of them I do read is typically done by speed reading or skimming. Jute posts tend to be tediously long, rambling, egotistical, obnoxious, filled with insults that might be penned by an eight-year-old, and generally boring. They're simply not worth any significant time. See http://www.cyclebanter.com/showthread.php?t=204228 -- - Frank Krygowski Poor Franki-boy hates me so much that he keeps right handy on his computer a fact-free hit job on me from a wannabe writer called Peter Howard and offers it to us twice a year. What a worthless ******: he can't even write his own abuse. Andre Jute Frank-boy should take Slow Johnny's advice and STFU because every time he opens his mouth he exposes the vicious void inside him When he accused me of faking hitting my head on an overhanging branch that was too much. I don't find conversing with him when he has his rare moments of lucidity but they certainly are getting rare. |

Andre Jute Conservationist Since I designed spectrographs I can draw the exact curves of the sun's emissions and the earth's response to it. I can show you that CO2 cannot effect atmospheric temperature at all. That is if the fact that the level of CO2 in the atmosphere was 4 times what it is now during the last ice age doesn't convince you. I have written the President directly about NASA forging temperature graphs that bear no relationship to reality. The thermometer records from just 15 years ago do not bear any relationship to what NASA is presently claiming. This entire department of NASA has to be closed down and criminal charges filed against these people. |
