What do you want? You're on a biking forum. You expect us to say tractor pulling is the cat's meow or the new improved Hemi is so much more powerful and efficient than the 70's 426's?

Are you hearing what you want:
response 1-- ignore the #!!#*#$#
response 2-- challenge the slob
response 3-- pushing the idiot
response 4-- intellectually attack the naive
response 5-- gang up on the dummy.

Your info says 3 more weeks. What's the big deal? Maybe the problem is too simple:
1-- he needs love,
2-- you're afraid to show love.
{no not sexual love, get your mind out of the gutter}

either reconcile, or move on. Nothing else is healthy.
