Yes, keep up the good work Mike Iglesias! I like to occasionally go back to
your FAQ and read how I should be posting too, although I don't always
observe all the good advice. The trouble is there are just so many assholes
and morons who are on these freaking cycling newsgroups. After all, you have
to fight fire with fire. But your FAQ sets the standards that we should all
strive for.

I wish you would include ARBR in your postings as there are so many idiots
on this particular newsgroup who could benefit from your very good
admonitions. Please think about including ARBR (alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent).
We badly need your input here.

Naw. They'd just say we're a bunch of uppity uprights.

I am stuck here on ARBR with a group of numskulls who seem to think it is OK
to top post. I have called them every name in the book, but they persist in
their deviant, abominable behavior. They badly need instruction from an
authority figure. So I am hoping if they see the FAQ they will maybe get a
hint that they are nothing but slobs and ne'er-do-wells.

NYC, otherwise not too dumb, is one of the worst offenders. Frankly, I do
not give a good g.d. how total idiots post, but when I witness an
intelligent person not posting correctly, well ... it just makes me as mad
as a hornet. Hells Bells, it makes my blood boil! They know better, yet they
do it anyway. Go figure!

PS. If NYC gives me a stroke or heart attack by his top posting, I am
leaving intructions to have my estate sue him for causing my early demise. I
will hit him in the pocket book from the grave since it is not possible to
hit him in the brain - he delights in not having one.

Isn't there some way to stop people from top posting?

I always talk about what I want to talk about, not what other idiots want to
talk about. Their freaking posts only serve as a take-off point for my
immortal words of wisdom. Too bad you have never yet learned to say anything
that anyone else would want to take note of, let alone read.

Every adult in the entire universe looks stupid on any kind of bike. Just
ask any 10 year old kid. Hey, maybe you could post a picture of yourself on
Webshots on your freaking bike so we could all see just how stupid you look?
