Trying new stuff helps keep you young.
I don't disagree. In fact I am in favour of the Pub51 experiment. I won't be spending much time there myself, but it does seem to represent a reasonable compromise between those who want this to be principally a cycling forum, and those who want somewhere to chat about whatever with people who happen sometimes to ride a bike.
But it will work only if Tom's policy is enforced, and if the non-cycling stuff gets moved there.
