If you are looking for advice, the other forums are better as there are often more knowledgeable people reading them.
Actually, for most visitors, what bike to buy is pretty much as General as a question gets. Fuirther, he isn't asking about Fit specifically, as in, which stem length, what should my riding position be. Do we have a "Handling as Affected by Frame Size" forum?
If we really want BF to be full of people like me, who are already full of it, Then it is fine to drive away everyone who doesn't read the title of every single subforum, and then also discern exactly what each veteran poster believes belongs there.
Otherwise, we need to be a little kinder to people who come here with questions, I'd say.
Seriously ... what goes into a "General Cycling Forum"? Please provide a comprehensive list of topics that are acceptable for this subforum and I will be the first to tell people we don't welcome there offerings and that they should go elsewhere.
Really ... how much was any of you hurt by this guy's post? Show me on this doll where the OP's flagrant forum abuse hurt you.
I'm telling you---I either have not enough coffee or too much.
