Hey dumbass, your the one who's researching google to bust
on JD, not the other way around. It appears to be pretty
simple -- the man changed his mind regarding the quality of
Trek frames after being disappointed several times. It's
like Greg said, people learn!

I've never met JD in the flesh, but he is well regarded by
those in this NG who have met him -- both as a person and as
a bike rider. Seems to me like you're the one who's coming
into "town" and trying to stake out your own "tough guy"
ground. What's wrong, can't you handle the fact that someone
has a poor opinion of your ride?

And guess what .... I ride a Trek!

Sheesh!

Okay, just saw the battle of wits previously. Violated
cardinal rule - read THEN post. None the less, looks like
your still just trying to wipe the egg of your face there
TBF. Give it a rest, dude.

My own personal loser-attributes list continues to grow the
older I get. I'm sure by the time my kids are teenagers it
will be enormous as they will be forced to add to it daily!
In my own defense, I also have an early 1990's steel Fisher
hardtail that I still ride quite regularly which will likely
outlast all of us. I plan to ride it in some old timers fest
at some Fat Tire Festival 50 years from now so all the young
Dewbies of the day can gawk, point, and wonder how we could
ride such hideous contraptions.

Except that JD started the heaping and that seems to be ok
with you, right?

Greg, pull your nose out of the pubic hairs in JD's asshole.
You don't even know what the real argument has been about,
even though you have been chiming in from the start. Aside
from the backslapping among you and the other circle
jerkers, the dispute has little to do with good mountain
biking....the dispute is much more about two views of the
sport. There is the SS group, that thinks REAL
MOUNTAINBIKING is about simplifying, lightening, spending
less, and somehow getting back to basics ( and of course,
forgetting that hiking would be the ultimate extension of
this)....and there is another group of mountain bikers, that
is always looking for the Magic Carpet ride...they want the
technological marvel that will allow them to do more,
easier. If someone in this category was given a rigid SS
bike to ride, they would feel that they were being robbed of
a huge part of the experience of mountain biking---the
feeling that they had all these technological solutions, all
dialed in just for them, each contributing perfectly to the
ideal performance for a thrilling ride on a good trail. The
people who resemble either of these two the most, don't
think THE SPORT OF MOUNTAIN BIKING should be enjoyed any
other way than their approach. Both groups forget that we
are all doing this for the thrill and for the outdoor
adventure... They are really arguing about who knows how to
have fun, and this is a pretty stupid thing to argue about.
I've been pretty stu pid in that I've allowed myself to be
sucked in to such a ridiculous argument, by people so far
away that settling the argument is a huge, long distance
ordeal. Such a ridiculous argument could only be created in
a place like the Internet, and there is no guarantee it can
be settled with some kind of "group get-together" .... you
still have the two conflicting ideas of what fun is, even
after all the fitness and skill posturing get sorted out in
a group ride.

I was going to point out the anatomical flaws in this
concept, but it got me thinking. When do pubic hairs become
anal crack hairs? The hairs around the varse/barse
(perineum) - what category do they fall in to?

You do realise that the majority of people with whom you are
having heated discussions, all own multi-geared FS bikes,
don't you?

You do realise that the majority of people here have already
ridden with other people on the group, don't you? There are
""group get-togethers"" throughout the world. The difference
is, we just want to ride with each other on nice trails, not
settle scores. I think this final point probably illustrates
our differences of opinion rather well.

You may see this as "settling scores". I don't. My guess
would be that in virtually every case, when you have people
who have been in a heated usenet debate, actually getting
together, the result will be friendly and amicable. In the
case of this mountain biking group and the threads argued
about, it would be more of an understanding what each other
means..a semantics type thing, and after riding with them,
having a better idea of why they sound the way they do with
their posts. No matter how much of a challenge I may have
aimed at JD, when I do get the chance to ride with him, I am
going to be planning on a fun trip, and I'm going to expect
him to be alot more enjoyable to ride with in real life,
than to talk to on the NG. Any challenge would be relatively
unimportant, the enjoyment of the ride would be the big
issue. I'm enjoying talking smack about SSers too much, to
let a little thing like who actually wins the challenge to
concern me :-) But of course, if JD was on a SS at Quiet
Waters, I would also enjoy having to wait for him to catch
up every 5 minutes or so :-)

Maybe Danny is fantasizing that he left some genuine
ones there?

Dan, your ability to remain utterly clueleess is simply
astounding!
