I have been following this thread from the 1st. When I read your post I found it to be inline to
what a newbie would ask. I never found it offensive or vague. I think it was just bad timing. I've
been reading this news group since April / 03. Most replies are positive and a few wise cracks
thrown in for laughs. But it got ugly from the 1st reply and just keep feeding on the negitive.
Brett there are very helpfull people here and I love reading some of the topics. Except for that
extreme poster know as "Mike V". Don't get caught up in his rantings about mountain bikers. Do not
reply to him or risk getting kill filed. Welcome to the world of alt.mountain-bike. Good luck on
your quest for that video cam.
