    Nevermind the village idiot.

    I *do not* live in a village! So there.

    There's a village missing it's idiot then

    Psst, here a hint for you Unc: when attempting a flame, it's extremely bad
    form to reveal your own stupidity with a simple grammatical error. (And
    it's NOT a typo, so don't try to claim so. That is, if you can even figure
    out your error.)

    PS: WHOOSH! as to the self-deprecating intent of my comment in the first
    place, too. Better punch in at 7-11 before they dock you! Slushy machines
    need filling...

    Dude, if you're truly not new to the internet, then just Google the
    term "freeriding" and you'll have more reading to do than time to do
    it. (And you'll see why the topic is often "trollish" -- IOW
    controversial -- in nature.)

    That's his next post:

    Shimano equipped.

  11. Freeriding
    In a cash account, you must pay for the purchase of a stock before you sell
    it. If you buy and sell a stock before paying for it, you are freeriding,
    which violates the credit extension provisions of the Federal Reserve Board.
    If you freeride, your broker must "freeze" your account for 90 days. This
    means that while you may still trade, you must fully pay for any purchase on
    the date you trade during the 90-day freeze. In other words, you won't get
    the benefit of settling your trades in three days.

    If you'd like to learn more about the 90-day freeze, read the Federal
    Reserve's Regulation T.

    I think there needs to be a distinction between off-trail freeriding and

    Off-trail = bad in most cases because it tears up the land.

    I love to on-trail freeride, which I'd define as riding for pure fun with
    air and/or possible alternate lines. Kind of how I like to ski, but with
    more regard to staying on an established route or only going off route when
    it's all rock.

    My new ride is listed as a "trail bike", I tried to ride it off a 2 ft
    jump, it balked like Christopher Reeve's horse, I dangerously approached
    black top the other day, the wheels locked up, I wanted to take this 4WD
    climb, it veered to a single track trail.
    I guess it knows.
