Personally, I feel that BF members are going about these threads all wrong (myself included). When asked for advice or direction, BF members typically apply logic and reason as to why something shouldn't be done or even attempted (whatever the dumb thing is, drilling holes in frames, riding bikes with frames that are cracked and/or fixing them with hose clamps, etc). I propose we adopt the stance that if someone comes here with a bad idea, we should overwhelmingly support it for two reasons.

One
Posters who come to ask questions, seek opinions, have already decided what they think is best and are really here to recieve kudos for such a great idea via a course of "amens". Not to mention they get hostile when someone genuinely tries to help/save them from themselves.

Two
We don't have saber tooth tigers to cull the slow and slow witted anymore. All we have left is "watch this". So, if they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless of sound, logical advice; why not give them a thumbs up and wait for the newspaper article or post crash recovery thread? It'd save a lot of time and energy.

Neither of these two things address the "Where do they come from and what do they get out of it?" posters who don't have or ride a bike that ask questions that will give them the pleaure of watching the ensuing dog chasing it's tail thread degradation.
