^I guess I should have ended my comment with something along the lines of "[/sarcasm]"?

Also, I don't mind when people post threads with 2 or 3 bikes saying "These are all suited for my style of riding. Which should I get?". I assume what they really mean is "Which would you get?" & then if any of the bikes look nice I tell them which I like best & why. It's when people just barge in & say "uhh.i dun no nothin about mountain bikes. which one should i get???" that bothers me. A whopping 5 minutes of literature in the aforementioned thread would give them a better answer than any one person could give provided the limited information of "I want to mountain bike. What do I get with $200?" I feel like this is where technology & too much sympathy for the mentally challenged is slowing the process of natural selection.
