I guess I'm about as much a new member as it gets here. I've not really observed any of the described behavior, but don't read all of the threads.

It got a little spicy for me over on the Bike Mechanics forum, but I'm sixty years old....I've encountered knowledgeable, cranky folk throughout my life; I'm not crying to Mom 'cause somebody dissed me. I took their knowledge offering and ran.

10 Wheels and qcpmsame made it a point to welcome me to the Forum initially. Thanks! I can't say the 50+ section has been anything but interesting. For a while there, I thought I was the last geezer left on earth...glad I found my way here! I don't have any input on the described problems; I'm thankful it's here, and will abide by any regulation, though haven't seen the need for change
