Maybe... bearing in mind that BF is a business, and as such has the right to control the Forum as they see fit.

Now the other side of that "maybe" is the fact that BF and bike shops and bike makers and any other entity associated with cycling should be concerned about the safety of their peers/clients.

Why isn't the cycling community more like the SCUBA community... self policing/self training/self governing? Every SCUBA shop offers training... they want their divers to want to to dive safely and to of course continue to buy products...
