I didn't realise there was a rift between bikeforum frequenters and bike messengers. That sounds a little silly to me. I mean, BF isn't a job or anything - it's a means of communications.

It certainly seems like some messengers are getting angry that they're not as obscure as they used to be and that Buffy Suburbia can get a messenger bag at the gap. Get over it. We like bikes, isn't that enough?
