Vain, But Lacking Talent
Just to let everyone know, I absolutely hate myself. I find myself mentioning "back when I worked at the shop" like every other post. I'm such an a-hole.

Quick question: back when you worked at the shop, did you ever snap counterfeit handlebars with your bare hands?

As per War Games, when it comes to the 41, the only way to win the game is not to play.

We kept a few counterfeit bars in the back and would snip pieces off between two fingers, then we'd put them in a bowl with some milk and eat them for breakfast.

So, in one of the other forums, I got in to a slightly abrasive tete a tete with an individual, nothing serious. I get emails every time someone quotes me and I got up in the middle night for some personal hygiene business and there's this insulting post. I go to the forum and there is nothing there. I assume the poster had posting remorse which is nice since he deleted it because I really didn't wish things to escalate and I wouldn't have replied. Still, it's funny that i saw what he posted via email.
Fair warning that just because you delete a snarky post, the intended victim may get it anyway via email.

One thing I've always found amusing is the weird "unknown other" sense you always get on one forum when referring to other competing forums for a particular interest. It's basically verbotten to link to a road bike review thread, and it is the same way on other special interest forums. Or maybe I'm just imagining that.
