Thank You General Cycling

I want to thank all of you for putting up with the birth of the Hybrid Forum. We could not have done it without your participation in the event. All discussions have 2 sides & even the heated moments are beneficial, It allowed the passion that we all feel come to the surface and be exploited. I Just wanted to say Thank You to General Cycling, You folks have been great sports

Why bother starting something if your not going to be serious about it.

Hey, every enthusiastic character is entitled to his very own forum to troll for group hugs with like minded comrades with a similar personality and need for an enclave protected from the cruel comments of the the Big Meanies . All it takes is a shotgun posting campaign and a heavy duty keyboard.

It's true enuff.

To evoke/provoke the change, maybe you need to change the color of your font to PINK and whine and cry til you find a sympathetic Mod, eh?

Well, spread over 161,331 members, it's really not that many, is it?

There must be tons of mercury in the water supply in Eastern Iowa - from all those soft-coal burning generators.....

Thanks most of you. And it didn't take more than a day to invade and withdraw.

If people make sacrifices for you to help you achieve some kind of goal it customary to show some form of appreciation. I regard my manners as a basic human value & will not discard them just because this is the internet. I understand that there are real people on the other side of my keyboard. I would show the same courtesy as if they sat across my desk from me. It no longer surprises me but it is disappointing how brave people seem to be when they don't have to look into your eyes & feel comfortable dropping their basic values & disregarding their manners. There are many that appreciate the gesture, I have no other motivation for this thread but to say Thank you.

Charlie

Having a separate forum is of at least as much benefit to those who don't want to hear about the forum topic as it is to those who want the forum to discuss their specific bikes.
