He started backstepping and apologized for trying to lower the price once I turned to get in the truck to drive off.
I said no worries and thanked him for his time. Emailed contestant #2 today and let them know "rack still available".

Why? How do you chose certain comments to tag as "41" in this mish-mash of a thread? You do it a couple times a week and with all the ridiculous posts here, what is it about these particular posts that raise your ire? I'm not going to change my posting habits based on your "41's", and I doubt anyone else will, but I am interested in some sort of explanation. At this point, your logic escapes me.
(Don't take this wrong. I'm not looking to fight here. It's an actual question.)

People have been posting '41' in this forum for a long long time. It's standard fare. Standard. Many people do it. It's been done a long time. I actually believe you know that, simply looking at your post count. That you think I have some issue with you is something you're going to need to workout with your god or your therapist, because as I've said I have no earthly clue who you are. I'm unable to distinguish you from any countless other characters that appear within these pages. So easiest thing is for you to put me on ignore since you clearly have some bug up your ass with me. No longer moding, I honestly don't need the drama.

Listen, you're kinda wearing me out. So let's cut to the chase.

It's not our job to teach you this thread. That you got saddled with this as a beat ain't our fault.

I made the mistake of walking Ft. Davis. I say mistake because it was actually harder to walk up it than ride. And it was so steep, it was pretty much impossible to get back on the bike after getting off. But to be fair, at the time, I had almost no experience with anything going uphill, other than overpasses.

Convert the posters join date to Julian format, divide by the square root of the number of posts. Multiply by the number of times secret key words appear in the post. The rest of the formula is proprietary, sorry.

It was good, thanks.
Brasstown in NE GA is the steepest thing I've both ridden and walked up. Both sucked. Saw a loaded 15 passenger van puke its transmission on the way up during one of the TdG.

Huh? I think you're directing this at the wrong person (sincerely, not sarcastically). I'm very aware of this thread. I was agreeing with you.
