It's not a matter of being a dick, but after seeing (let alone responding) to the same questions, post after post, year after year after year...................................................well, the people with the information get tired of repeating it.
So when someone says something curt like "Use Search Function" they're really just trying to say:
Kind new rider to the wonderful world of two wheels without gears [or potentially a freewheel hub]; the selection you've asked for - the [x] is [x]. I've also had the opportunity to ride every single bike in your selection and think that [based off real world information I have about you including height: [x], weight [x], sexual preference and political orientation - you should purchase [based off my expert knowledge in the field of all things fixed wheel/SS] a [x].
But they figure the answer is buried, somewhere.
<---Personally, I've been around for a long time, but have ridden exactly ONE SS bike and ONE fixed-gear bicycle. Would I recommend it, of course I would. Would it be the best option for you. How the heck would I know?!?!?!?!
So maybe I am a dick. /shrug
thanks for telling me to use the search function. i didn't think of that. if you read up you will see my first post had that point in it. if you don't know what you are looking for the search function is useless. you don't get the right response. i will say i have not ask a question about hight weight. i asked about gearing, and gear inches, and was helped out without being flamed. i did ask about bars, not knowing what kind they were and i was flamed for that. i searched and seeing as the picture was blurry and i couldn't read what they said i was flamed, and side bar. the person flaming me was a bit wrong. i searched for said bars and they still were not it. my point was this board has more *******s on it than any other i have encountered. sorry, second most, the other is a local board and mostly just the "web guy" is a dick. my point was to read the pages of flaming and people going off on each other, much like now, to get an answer. it works better. i read almost every new post, the main way i learn about my bike.
