Ah, but I love the subjective reports. Of course they are all anecdotal, and, as the saying goes, the plural of anecdote is not data. Nevertheless, so much of the hobby is so heavily skewed to the anecdotal, anyway, that it simply becomes part of the entertainment value of participation.

People become vaguely known and the nature of their perspective is almost understood. Plus, I learn about all sorts of s'moptions that I'd never even considered. Everything with a metaphorical grain of salt.

Only a couple weeks ago, I was certain I'd retired my last set of tubular wheels for some years and had no thought of buying new tubulars. Now I can hardly wait, but I'm still sorting out which tubes to actually buy.

SO. The more comments and subjective comments, the merrier.

Thanks, too.
