I'm sorry if my agenda to clarify the difference between strength and specific strength was such a rampant disinformation campaign. Plus my opinions as someone working on both sides of the bike industry since 1990 surely disqualifies me from having an informed opinion about anything in the bike industry. I ought to be insulted just as certainly as anyone who posts a vague question or an unpopular topic. People like us are scum.

You were talking about me. Don't be so mealy mouthed. If you can't be pleasant, at least be honest.
