Since this is the Internet, I guess I am allowed to try to match your candor. After all, you wrote this on a BF post not too long ago:
>I fell warming up for a metric century [snip] Shoulder felt like someone had stuck an ice pick in it, skinned up my knee pretty well.
Knew I shouldn't but went ahead and rode the ride."
And you wrote: >typical herd mentality, no one wants to be the first to say hey maybe we shouldn't go 10 miles east and 7 miles south with the wind at our backs<
Therefore I conclude it's OK for you to do what you know you shouldn't do, although you don't accord the same right to others.
>glad I am I don't know you.<
Too late.
If my post upset you, I apologize. I've just read the article you mentioned about statins. Very enlightening, and it's
here.
I suppose I should feel honored that you felt it necessary to research my previous posts and quote me here, although I don't know that one can really equate a shoulder injury, or riding in cold weather, with a potentially fatal cardiac event. And it wasn't what you did that bothered me so much as the attitude associated with it. Maybe I am reading too much into it. But the fact that you felt compelled to look up my previous posts to see if there was something with which you could hit back suggests that maybe, just maybe, you saw a little truth in my post.
