ED D. YES
ED G. NO

Thanks for the vote of confidence Joshua.

But is this the same Joshua Goldberg with whom I got into a furious verbal
fight right off the bat and we called each other every filthy and vile name
in the book? After we got over that bit of nonsense we found out we were not
totally incompatible after all.

Me thinks Joshua has found a new forum for his formerly prolix posts. He was
never a man of few words.

Looks like you've moved



Mark, what I've been hearing is that Tom inherited a great deal of money
and real estate from a very distant, very rich conservative relative, took
some time off, traveled around the country in his new motor home, then built
a big house in Fox River Valley, married a fine looking trophy wife, and
enrolled in the Rush Limbaugh Institute of Conservative Studies where he is
currently working toward a neo-con degree. But the really big news is that
he is going into production on a titanium replica of the Sunset lowracer
just as soon as he can locate a reliable source for seat hemp.

Maybe 120 miles, as the crow flies, if the FRV in question is NW
Chicago and the 0003 still resides with its most recent owner of
record.

I hear he's dropping hemp in favor of Astroturf.
Any word on the transparent aluminum fairing?

Don't you mean aluminium?

Aluminum is the most common metal element in the
earth's crust. The -ium variant is more common
in the upper crust, outside the US. Bikes made
from aluminum are faster than bikes made from
aluminium. The extra syllable slows them down.

The transparent somewhat harder to lacate,
especially in low light conditions.

Extraordinarily strong stuff, if Mr. Scott was to be
believed. Of course a simple containment-field
based full fairing may be the ideal solution. Needs
a better power supply than currently available,
perhaps.

A bike made out of transparent aluminum, now there would be something
special. It should have been discovered back in the 70's or 80's when Mr.
Scott came here from the future but somehow they still don't have it at Home
Depot. How hard could it be to make? Even the lowly original Mac was capable
of showing its structure in a CAD program. I blame a vast right wing
conspiracy that is keeping this wonderous metal from the public.

snip of nothingness

Most recumbent cyclists are elderly men who have been working class types
all of their lives and have neglected their minds. All I have ever done is
to cultivate my mind since I never had to work much, so why should others
not benefit from my life of leisure.

Hmmm that's code for you haven't been employable and are on welfare\

I have been a gentleman of leisure my entire life. You could have been too
if you had not been so foolish as to marry and have children. It is not my
fault that you ended up nothing but a working stiff. That was still no
excuse for neglecting your mind, but I know it can be tough to feed your
mind when you have a wife and children to feed.

Ahhh, make that trust funder. Worse yet.


We have already established that I am the most secure person on this
newsgroup. That is why I can leave any time I so choose and never look back.

You have established that you are the least secure that's why all the
bs and bravado. Real secure people don't need to engage in such
childish behavior. Or real men for that matter.



Most newsgroup are nothing but mindless banter among a self selected few.
It
makes newsgroups a vast wasteland. It takes time and effort to write the
kind of posts that I submit which is why so few do it. But I believe every
newsgroup should have a few such individuals. The besetting sin of all
newsgroups is the terminal boredom of being forever on topic with mindless
banter. I spared ARBR that fate for as long as I could.

Self aggrandizement. Expected.

I say some interesting and perhaps controversial things about newsgroups and
I get nothing but an idiot response. JimXXX seems unusually stupid even by
ARBR standards.

That was interesting? Maybe to a moron without a clue. Otherwise, it
was mere self-aggrandizement and blather.

I ALWAYS had some content to my posts, but I do admit it is hard to add
content when someone like you posts nothing but tripe and nonsense.

There are some ideas in my paragraph above that we could discuss, but you do
not have the brains to do it. Name calling is never an adequate response. In
fact, you illustrate to perfection what I am complaining about. In as much
as your contributions have become nothing but aimless banter (albeit
unpleasant), I leave you to yourself.

Hi Skip,

Ah, 'tis balm to my soul to read the above!

I thought you had perhaps departed forever for greener pastures elsewhere on
Usenet. You have been sorely missed here on ARBR as no one else has your
wit.

I have instituted a new signature which I use because I am mostly contending
with nothing but idiots and morons whom I like to tweak. The old timers like
you will know me from my more sober days, but I have decided that newsgroups
are not to be taken seriously. That is why everything I write is now
strictly tongue in cheek. When I am half way serious, I will sign myself
simply as of old. When I am playing the clown (most of the time), I will
sign myself so as to annoy everyone to the utmost.

Regards,

Ed Dolan - Minnesota

PS. Welcome back!

No. If I use myself as a reference frame, I am stationary and the
Universe has moved around me.

$kip,

"Lowracer" should be capitalized when it follows "Sunset".

The remnants of Earth Cycles are for sale. If I had actually inherited
money, I would likely be involved in reviving the company.
