I look forward to your future posts here on bikeforums. I have a feeling you'll be fun to have around. Welcome.
I'm not really sure what that first post is going for, but I'll take a shot. There are a lot of really great people on this forum. There really are. As with the rest of our society, there are also a whole lot of pretty regular "meh" people and some with pretty "meh" or worse values/morals. Have you seen the numerous threads discussing flipping, doing a quality overhaul vs. a wipe-down and mark-up to make some cash, etc? I guess that kinda addresses your post in some way. I'm still working on figuring out that zoo part... Feel free to elaborate on that one.
