I think folks should post what they want and everyone should use their own judgement on whether to read or not. I have a problem with telling (or trying to tell) anyone otherwise. Obviously, some are a lot better than others at choosing an interesting subject and presenting it well to start an interesting thread. The dead cyclist threads are dead boring, because as Tom points out correctly, we all die one way or another. It would interesting if I knew the dear departed, but that's just me. Remember, I'm the one who still wants the Diego's to come back, en masse.
