Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I remember why I don't post in the 41 any more.

I like the 33 because it's BF members who are familiar with each other so the banter is pretty funny and if the conversation isn't about racing I'll post there now and again.

Thanks so much for dropping in and taking the time to answer questions. I can only hope that when I've posted nearly 10,000 times on this site that, just like you, I'll be able to find it in myself to answer questions from inexperienced twits.

You're welcome. It's normal to aspire to greatness.

It's uncanny. Almost as if you have had your dbag nature enhanced with D. Cheney DNA.

I picked this thread because I needed to kill time, and it was long, and I figured I wouldn't want to read all 27 pages of Waterrocket's thread on a crappy Trek BB. But I think I would have been able to follow that thread for more than 3 replies. But I kept going. I'm still confused. But atleast I have CSPAN, where everything makes sense.

They're voting on whether or not to limit debate. As a Senate page, this is really interesting.

The rule that you broke was being too ignorant to see that it's already been mentioned several times.

I'm not sad at all, but even if I was, it's better than being an angry elf.

If site operators enforced a no-ignorance rule, there'd be about five people left here.
