You Shall All Covet The New Addiction

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Make a note of it.
It's BillyD's thread. It says so right under the title.

Looks pretty good - let us (me?) know what you think when you eventually come up for air. Myself, I'm trying to avoid Skyrim until it's brutally cold outside.

I am *shocked* that the '2nd thoughts on carbon' thread hit a downward spiral.

Unfortunately there are some people that have no intentions of listening to others. Makes it sort of hard for a thread to survive. Debate is fine, but at least attempt to listen to the other side. If you disagree that is fine, make a counter point. Just saying the same thing over and over with nothing to back it up doesn't cut it.

Ha - I know. Half of the participants in that thread gave up any pretension of having a reasonable discussion by the 3rd page. Why people kept engaging, I do not know...
