Foo-ey!
We had another thread moved to Foo. I thought they weren't going to do that anymore. It was the reading glasses thread.

Needed to introduce "the things I need to read the little rice paper instructions for the new thingamajig that I am installing on my heretofor untouchable and super advanced carbon fibre frame" early in the thread to retain credability.
Either that or "what ratio reading glasses do I need to read about the alps?"

Don't mince words
I don't wear my reading glasses when I'm riding my bike.

I wonder what % of foosters need reading glasses as compared to % of 50+ers?
Hmmmm...how 'bout a thread titled "Move This Thread"? Kinda like Abbie Hoffman's book.

I always wonder why someone moves something to Foo. I mean, does someone have to lodge a complaint? And if not, why bother?
It's not a big deal; it just seems curious to me.

I suspect, understand I have no evidence, that those who monitor these things simply cruise different forums. Every now and again, they read one that doesn't fit their paradigm of what should be in that particular fourm. Don't they usually put a notice on the thread that's been moved? At least I think I remember seeing such. On one hand I think the moderators already do a pretty decent job of allowing this particular fourm a fair amount of latitude.

Who are you and why are you claiming that you have already posted this?

I was wondering why there was a thread by DG in Foo and full of 50+ posters who normally don't post there. A few of us post in a few quite a bit but it seems to be a younger crowd. Some might say the 50+ forum is more Foo than cycling discussions, not sure how they would decide which threads to move/

Hmmm... There's a thread in Utility Cycling that's been annoying me. It should be in Living Car Free instead. Who do I contact to have it moved?
