Nah, don't go away, we enjoy your comments.
As to chest-thumping, we encourage that in this forum. I rode 100 miles! I rode up a mountain! I won my time trial! All great stuff. Now if someone comes on and says I won my 100 mile time trial up the side of a mountain and then did two beautiful women (or men, whatever), I wouldn't begrudge them a little chest thumping!
