It is OK to live your life and not reproduce once you forego sex.
However,

if you are into sex, then you are into reproduction. What is so difficult
to
understand about this?

If I thought there was a great shortage of human beings in the world I
might
get busy myself. But I have always thought exactly the opposite. There
are

way too many human beings in the world. Therefore, my contribution to the
world ecology has been not to reproduce. Plenty of other idiots are doing
that and as a result the world ecology is becoming unbalanced with way
too

many humans.

Hey Eddie D.,

A lot of people on ARBR think you should go and f..., er copulate with
yourself.

A lot of people on ARBR are fools like you. So what else is new?

Mr. Sherman is gone (hard at work at his job, no doubt), yet slacker E. D.

Sherman the Tom is gone and may he stay gone forever. Speaking of useless
crapola, we sure do not need his liberal, socialist, communist propaganda on
this group. It would only lead idiots like you astray.

As Mr. Ed's self proclaimed 'milestone' nears this group is becoming a
ghost town. eddie's egocentric braying has cluttered the landscape so
badly that all that is left seems to be his inane chatter. He has
become reduced to talking to himself. I wish Wilbur would regain some
control, but fear that the barn door has too long been left open.

At least we have our resident poet to provide some relief, even if
the name of the group has become (temporarily, one hopes) irrelevant.

spell-checker, he is nothing more than a semi-literate moron. Never
have I seen such a long string of misspelled words in a row. And many
of the words are not just slightly off (as if simply a typo), but
rather horrifically misspelled, showing that the writer doesn't have
the slightest clue how to spell these words.

Saturday, August 20, 2005 will go down in history as the day that Sir
Edward the Great has revealed that he really is just a horse's ass, and
will henceforth go by the name Mr. Ed.

Do you believe that anyone created
That message - incoherent, unabated,
So poorly typed it couldn't be translated -
Unless he'd gone way past intoxicated?

I've often thought the TROLL has overstated
His sloppy typing skill; he's annotated

So much... but now we see - it's OVERrated!

The poor TROLL's typing truly is horrendous;
WHOA! Talk about mistakes - that WAS tremendous,
Way, way beyond mere stupid to stupendous -
That style might top his content to offend us.

But it takes more than clumsy hunt-and-peckers
To screw words up that bad; this language wrecker's
Well qualified to beta test spell checkers,
Or try for Guiness, awing rubberneckers.

Indiana Mike is as free as he ever was to post as many on-topic messages as
his little heart desires. Unlike Johnny Rebike (Ed Gin), I NEVER interfere
with such messages.

Poor Indiana Mike does not have a clue about anything respecting this group.
It was Johnny Rebike (Ed Gin) who destroyed this group. Don't believe me? Go
back and have another look at the Google statistics for this group and you
will immediately see where the big drop off occurred. It was in March of
this year after Ed Gin completely destroyed this group with his forgeries,
his Monkey Island crapola and his overall criminal behavior.

But this group constantly gathers naifs like Indiana Mike who think they
know enough to comment on the group. This group is now as dead as a door
nail and all it took was just one criminal vandal troll to kill it. That is
why I have such contempt for newsgroups and will soon be gone from here
never to return. I have said it once or twice before, but it bears repeating
for the blind and deaf: NEWSGROUPS ARE FOR IDIOTS AND MORONS!

ARBR is never going to come back to where it was because no self respecting
recumbent enthusiast of any dignity will have anything to do with it. If you
want to post and/or read messages about recumbents go to BROL, or better yet
subscribe to RCN, the only honest source for information about recumbents.

All you have witnessed is the fact that I can't type worth a darn. I have
repeatedly told this group that. I type very fast as I think very fast and
so of course I only get the gist of many words down. For the first couple of
years I did not have a spell check and I had to correct all the typos
myself. The spell check is a big aid in correcting the typos and speeding up
the process.

What really amazes me is how I make the same old typos over and over.
Apparently I cannot type the word the. It always comes out teh. But also
invariably comes out btu. Nothing but typos of course. I should have taken
typing classes when I was in high school, but it seemed at the time that
only the girls took that course. I never wanted to be a typist, that is for
sure.

There are a few words which will trip me up every time I must admit. But
even so, I have a doubt when the spelling is not correct, but I am sometimes
too lazy to check on it. Believe you me, if I were writing to anyone except
the morons and imbeciles who populate this newsgroup in great numbers,
everything would be letter perfect.

Indiana Mike

It is appropriate to use initials for recumbent specific words on this
recumbent newsgroup.

RCN stand for Recumbent Cyclist News. It is a publication by Robert Bryant
of Washington who does practically all the work of the magazine himself. He
has been doing this for many years now and has earned great credibility in
the world of recumbents as a result of his honesty and forthrightness. It is
a magazine for recumbent enthusiasts and not any industry sales flyer like
so many others I could name.

By the way, I have every issue of RCN going back to the beginning. Those of
you who think BROL is the cat's pajamas are naive in the extreme. BROL is a
Johnny come lately and their reviews are highly suspect.

I will soon become the all time most prolific and prolix poster ever to ARBR

It is incumbent on the writer who uses initials to explain what they stand
for when asked. If one does not want to be asked what the initials mean,
then write it out in full. The reader need never look up anything provided
he is proficient in the English language as commonly written and understood.

Ed is right.

I too am weary of those who love to unremittingly spew acronyms and jargon
at the populace. I find these people monotonous and uninteresting and
communication suffers
because of them. From my experience they can usually be found working in
the lower levels of government or schools.

And no, I don't know what the letters ADHD might stand for - nor is it
important enough for me to bother looking it up.

Ed isn't the only one who feels this way.

Ed isn't the only one who feels this way.

Then don't look it up if you feel that way. You must realize that some
acronyms become part of the language. Some are passing and some aren't.
Somehow I don't imagine that you object to people who use FBI, CIA, DEA,
USA, NYPD, or any of many that you happen to be familiar with. You would
consider it strange if they didn't use the acronym because the acronym has
become part of the general language. For that matter LOL, ROTFL and many
other internet acronyms are also accepted without resistance. If I say ISP,
AOL, DSL, ISDN, etc. I don't get accused of being uninteresting.

So you are not familiar with ADD and ADHD but many people are. It has made
the cover of many national magazines, been reported extensively on network
and cable television news, and is generally pretty well known. It really
doesn't qualify as jargon at this point. It is merely something that you
haven't been exposed to and don't understand. All of this started because of
a joke that was made in which it was suggested that Ed suffered from ADHD.
If you want to get the joke then you are going to have to look it up. Based
on the number of hits you will get I think you will find that it is hardly
obscure.

Jargon and "shop talk" have their place and there are places where they
clearly don't belong including most newsgroups. Not everything that you
don't understand is jargon, however, some of it is just things with which
you are unfamiliar.

Eddie boy,

Johnny ReBike is not Ed Gin. Only a doofus would think that.

Ed is right.

I too am weary of those who love to unremittingly spew acronyms and
jargon at the populace. I find these people monotonous and uninteresting
and communication suffers
because of them. From my experience they can usually be found working in
the lower levels of government or schools.

And no, I don't know what the letters ADHD might stand for - nor is it
important enough for me to bother looking it up.

Ed isn't the only one who feels this way.

Then don't look it up if you feel that way. You must realize that some
acronyms become part of the language. Some are passing and some aren't.
Somehow I don't imagine that you object to people who use FBI, CIA, DEA,
USA, NYPD, or any of many that you happen to be familiar with. You would
consider it strange if they didn't use the acronym because the acronym has
become part of the general language. For that matter LOL, ROTFL and many
other internet acronyms are also accepted without resistance. If I say
ISP, AOL, DSL, ISDN, etc. I don't get accused of being uninteresting.

Yeah that's fine. Mentioning FBI, USA, and CIA isn't exactly what I would
call unremittant spewing of acronyms and jargon. And yes, I know AOL stands
for America On Line. But truth be known I don't know what the acronyms DSL
(Direct Service Line?) and ISDN stand for. Would you tell me if I asked?

So you are not familiar with ADD and ADHD but many people are. It has made
the cover of many national magazines, been reported extensively on network
and cable television news, and is generally pretty well known. It really
doesn't qualify as jargon at this point. It is merely something that you
haven't been exposed to and don't understand. All of this started because
of a joke that was made in which it was suggested that Ed suffered from
ADHD. If you want to get the joke then you are going to have to look it
up. Based on the number of hits you will get I think you will find that it
is hardly obscure.

ADD I suspect is Attention Deficit Disorder, but I don't know what ADHD
stands for. I suppose I should pay more attention to magazine covers.
Could it possibly be a disorder that people who constantly make up new
acronyms might suffer from? That would be my hope.

Can you give me an example?

I sure as hell won't look up anything that is not in common usage. It is
presumptuous and arrogant of others to not spell things out.

You must realize that some

Some few do, but most don't. It is only the bamboozlers who pretend to know
more than they actually do that resort to initials and acronyms. Is the
hallmark of the ignorant.

Some are passing and some aren't.

Those you list above are in the common language of every American. They may
or may not be in the common language of non-Americans. You presume too much.
Still, I do like to read the full version of what initials and acronyms
stand for every now and then. The New York Police Department instead of
NYPD. Yes!

For that matter LOL, ROTFL and many

All of the above could be spelled out. It is annoying and irritating to be
confronted with this idiotic jargon. Frankly, I am fed up with it. Computer
nerds are the lowest scum there is. Screw them!

I will not look up [censored] like this. I asked what it meant and all I get are
know it all comments from idiots like you. Write it out if you want to be
understood.

Jargon and "shop talk" have their place and there are places where they
clearly don't belong including most newsgroups. Not everything that you
don't understand is jargon, however, some of it is just things with which

I do think it is appropriate to use some recumbent shortcuts on this group
since it is a recumbent newsgroup. But never assume that others will know
what you are talking about when you get into other types of jargon and using
initials and acronyms which have nothing to do with recumbents.

I was taught in school to use the King's English. I have read thousands of
books that also use the King's English. Damn it all to Hell, I am not going
to bother with those who do not use the King's English!
