Losing the will to live

What has happened to urc? It seems to have been taken over by a wave of
argumentative nit pickers while the regular, interesting and/or
informative posters seem to be fading into the background.

Its got to the point where I am seriously considering whether it is
worth continuing to wade through all the raging battles to find
something worth reading, which would be a sad end after 11 years and
13,000 postings.

Hang on it the spring should be along soon, which hopefully will
put an end to much of the raging 'cabin fever' that has been expressed
here of late......

Kill the silly threads. Especially crossposts to [****].

You can also kill some of the proven *****s. To take two extremes,
avoiding any (sub)thread starting with "Matt B" or "spindrift"
will spare you a million lines of garbage for every worthwhile
post you miss.

Cheer up, look on the bright side. You could subscribe to

I'm off the bike with a ruptured L5/S1 disc, although I have been spotted in
secret training here ;-)

Hopefully, the whole season won't be written off.

Anyhow, don't go - we appreciate your postings :-)
