Default Curious -- Why Do You Continue To Stay With ARBR

I'm curious why folks stay with this newsgroup given that any thread
is immediately subject to contamination. (I'm being kind) Yup, I'm a
"usta be" and just stopped in to see if things had changed in a few
months.

MR ED has a very large part of this group under his complete control and
most are unaware of that fact. I filtered him by my 3rd day here but
others are obsessed by him so we have to get his crap 2nd hand.

I'm staying with this group as an experiment. I want to see how many people
I have to put in the kill file before it becomes a group about recumbent
bikes again. Anyone who responds to Dolan is in my kill file. Now I can
read this group in five minutes and most of what I read is about recumbent
bikes. To all of you "on topic" people, thank you for all the good info.
To all of you "off topic" people, see ya!

Joe....

Just think of it as a "Reality-Show" that is far more entertaining than
most of those on TV.

It used to be my favorite and I'm waiting ... and patient. I have outwaited
and outwitted most disruptors.

the "REAL" reason to stay here is that you "CAN'T get "BANNED" from here like
someone does from his serious income making board.
and you know who that i'm talking about,now don't you?

Cause here I can tell the sycophants and stepford wives to **** off and not
worry about an anal retentive site manager go ballistic protecting his
future bread and butter. It's called freedom of speech!

Because with a decent, threaded newsreader (Mozilla Thunderbird), it's
very easy to separate the wheat from the chaff, and read the stuff that
interests me. Having "grown up" net-wise on rn, I prefer usenet to
web-based discussions.

1. Reading and writing via a proper newsreader is for me far more
comfortable than via any browser

2. I prefer to be my own moderator who decides what I'm able to write
and to read. It's not only freedom of speech, it's also freedom of
choice.

3. It's simply one alternative to all the other boards and groups I'm
reading and I'm not intending to give it up completely.

4. If you don't expose yourself to the downs of a group, you can't enjoy
the ups entirely. ;-)

Kurt, who likes diversitiy not only in bicycles
