The purpose of these forums is to provide an environment for senior members to endlessly repeat themselves and admonish n00bs.

Under some circumstances, it is appropriate to discuss new cycling products -- so long as you have spent no less than 3 hours exploring the company website, all other forums, and the rest of the internet to make sure what you were going to ask wasn't already posted.

It is always OK to start a thread whining about repetitive threads. Although you'll see many of them, threads complaining about repetition are not considered repetitive, nor are single word posts that have been used hundreds or even thousands of times.

Excellent point! Why do we even NEED this forum? Why not end all active posting and simply let the archives provide the answers?

I think you may have wrecked it. This could have gone on for hundreds of pages.

You misunderstood, me too like botto did not know you were a woman. And LawnChair as well - I thought was a man. Hence shame on me.

Addiction has an undeniable core group and that is all good. What I said was tongue in cheek. I usually look for amusing coasting and VeloVol banter once in a while and was at one point curious how long that thread could get.

I am not a woman either. My day as a woman was insightful though. I got tons of PM's that I still have to answer. Chini563 bought me a bike. I almost got into the woman's forum. I passed the multiple choice quiz but my essay "My Vagina and Me" was given low marks by the Mods.

This is too funny. I started coming here a few months ago after reading about this forum on another forum. There was a thread with lots of discussion on what a bunch of *******s where over on this forum. What can i say, i think confrantation is fun. I take it all with a grain of salt. But, if you go to any thread on this site. You can't get 5 posts into it without someone getting flamed for something.
