I noticed the same thing. I would post questions here, road bike review, mtbr, and singletracks and usually (actually probably always) the most participation and quality of responses was here. There are always a percentage of infantile responses (including some of my own) but it's usually small, usually overwhelmed by better responses, and probably just someone having a bad day or bored at the office. But there are definitely some quality members here that have helped me jump start my new hobby immensely, and tolerated a bunch of my newbie questions politely.
People just find commonality in complaining. Who DOESN'T go to a water cooler to ***** about their job??
(btw, my favorite threads to showcase the BF...do you need a helmet?...is steel better than carbon?...why not buy from BikesDirect?...should i stop at all red lights?..

It would always come out on top of the suggestions.
So, I thought, why not just go to the source.
If you're not happy here, quit "femaledogging" about being here...stop posting.
