Exactly. Sometimes, its exceedingly difficult to have a cycling-related conversation here. The more cycling-oriented a thread is, the more likely it is that someone will try to derail it with an insult, or with a lousy attempt at humor at the OP's expense. This particular subforum is a little better than most, but not by much. Insults, off-topic posts, trolling, and disruption are all supposedly against forum rules, but you rarely see anything done about it unless it gets way out of hand. With that said, I well understand that moderators don't see everything.

As for Farrar's salute, I like it, and I hope other follow suit. I'm sure Weylandt's family and girlfriend appreciate the sentiment, too. Gone, but not forgotten.
