Yes, a joke. Just a little joke. So for instance, Machka, when I wrote "a site where you go to meet bicycles" -- that wasn't to be taken literally -- it was humor; a little play on words. So when you respond with an obvious comment like, "personally I come to the touring forum to discuss touring .... places to go, what to bring, etc.", it appears it has all gone over your head.

You've all created such a hullabaloo that no women will ever respond. You've completely ruined this man's chance of ever finding true happiness. Not to mention the fact that he's going to wake up tomorrow, log onto this forum, and get very excited when he sees that he got 12 replies to his post. 12 chances at finding that soulmate. Then he's going to see all this drivel you've posted, and become horribly disappointed and depressed. You should all be ashamed.
