    CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION
    ================================
    ================================

    WOMEN
    =====
    Data on Women is difficult to acquire with any degree of consistency or
    comparability. Ergo no palmares are usually included.

    To rate a ``Buon Compleanno'' from Davey, Women must be in the top 100 UCI
    ranked riders.

    If Davey has some additional data to hand it may be included parenthetically.

    MEN
    ===

    The criteria for acknowledgement in the ``Happy Birthday'' list is a showing,
    but not necessarily a win, in:

    ===========
    World Championship Road Race 1927

    From the amount of email I got, and the comments posted in here, it would seem
    that it irritated most people.

    Agreed. It was interesting to come across the names of some of the
    less obvious great and semi-great riders of past eras that I would
    probably not otherwise have heard of.

    Yes, it is...

    And know that people will usually only speak up when they don't like
    something.. and will be quiet if they appreciate it.. it's just natural.
    And I appreciated it...

    WTF?? Why do you think i'm irritated by Davey's birthday obsession?
    Just like someone said before, always nice to know what less known
    riders won during their career. I just had some question marks on the
    "Major Classic" label of the HEW. But that's just a part of the old
    Classic-Worldcup-Monument discussion we all had in the past and it has
    nothing to do with Davey's initiative.

    i don't think that you are irritated. i just noticed that davey replied
    to your post about hew when posting his discontinued post. i was
    pointing out that you are always like that so not to take it as a
    complaint or nitpick about his bday subject. (pretty much what you have
    written to me here)

    I never thought of it as an obsession. It is interesting that you refer to
    it as that.
