Hey budfox ... don't sweat-it ... don't let these guys get to you. It gets boring for many of the members who are on here a LOT. Thus, they like to stir things up so the day goes by more quickly.

Good post ... glad you got the hang of it. It does make a difference! The phrase I used when first getting into cycling (late 80's and early 90's) was peal in "small circles" ... and that has helped me tremendously.
