Well, it's no secret I post often, and I ask newbie questions, and I sometimes forget to curb my enthusiasm for my new hobby/sport. That said, it might be argued that I post too much, aren't nearly as funny as I think I am, and waste invaluable bandwidth with my own drama.

Hence, this poll. Go ahead, lay it on me! I have thick skin and the advantage of anonymity. So let's hear it -- the good, the bad, and the downright ugly!

It's not like you hide your screen identity. Anybody who doesn't like your posts doesn't have to open them. Enjoy yourself.

"Okay, he's a knucklehead, but he's *our* knucklehead" covers it fairly well, Thank you!!

Gary, I know from some of your post that you've had some major bumps in your life. If
cycling make it all sane for you long enough to hang together then post away,mate. Post
away. I'll not be complaining.

This forum is exactly what the members make of it, no more, no less. That said, as a member of the forum, you have added your own significant dimension. Each of the members counts and is valued in their own special way, as you are.

Gary's sincerity, enthusiasm, and ability to create threads that attract many responses because they're often pertinent to most of us...is much appreciated. Besides, most of us long-winded olde pharts welcome a chance to be authoritative or at least opinionated and share all of our hard-won misinformation. Keep it up, DeeGee.

A wannabe maybe?

From one Knucklehead to another, keep on mashing the keys and the pedals.

Those of us who travel for a living understand how nice it is to be able to keep up with "friends" even from the road.

Keep up the good work and good funnys!

Well, I clicked 'em all. Don't know if they registered. Anyway, I'm glad you're here to share the ups and downs of cycling and to keep us smiling.

As another noob, I really enjoy Gary's stuff. Oh geeesh! The haiku thing!

Through his posts, Gary's taught me more about my (also new-found) hobby of cycling than anything else. I've often envisioned the gears turning around in his head, thinking and thinking of bikes and riding. It seems that his posts are from his heart, hence the contagion that they cause. They make me smile and laugh and think about myself and my own cycling. Although 3 years shy of 50, I'd say Gary's posts (and the banter they generate with "straight-men" Granny Gear and Stapfam, et. al.) are what keep me coming back to BikeForums.

Gary, keep on keeping on! I'd bet you're doing many people out here a world of good!

You can see who votes what by clicking on one of the numbers in the poll results. The availability to BFN readers of seeing who voted what is at the option of the "setter upper" of the poll (the author).

Gary,
Remember, The only stupid question is the one not asked.

FarHorizon

The poll just doesn't work for me - I wanted to check ALL of them!

You want validation, Gary? You got it! You're fine in my book!

no motor?

+1 here. Gary's a lap or 2 ahead of me WRT bicycling, and I've always benefited be learning from others who've made the same newbie/knucklehead mistakes I do or would. And with Gary and this forum, they're archieved for posterity and available for everyone to see - thanks for being such a good example for the rest of us.

Good poll, making multichoice available. Not a public poll, but that's better.

It's always interesting to browse your threads. The enthusiasm is good plus.

old99

Ditto to all the above. It's reached a point for me that whenever I browse the threads, I look to see if Gary has started a new thread. If he has it's the first place I go. Second place I go is to threads he's started and are already going.

I didn't see the "short, fat and stupid" square - what sort of a poll is that?

jisaak

OK I'm in. I will admit that I enjoy everyone's posts as they provide their assistance (serious or otherwise), their advice with good (?) intentions. It's a great place to take a break, read a bit and chuckle. That being said I have learned a few tops and hopefully have been able to provide some myself.
Keep it up!

jisaak

Meant to say "a few tips".

I miss spell check before it posts.
