Re: Half-century, not out--WARNING LONG

I ride a bike because I enjoy all my bike time. Time on a bike is seldom
"forced time" for me. Running, on the other hand, has always been
something someone else has made me do--so I hate it.

Nope. However, you obviously forgot about the notion of snipping.

Funny on my reader all the previous text got hidden so no need to snip
or to be be snippy.

Then you need to get a functional newsreader.

Here is what Bill posted in response to you (indicating that he too snipped
what you failed to snip):

Life is not fair. When I used to do long runs with other, faster friends,
they'd reach a rest stop or halfway point well before I did; then they were
ready to go while I was still huffing and ventilating.

Years later with mountain biking, same basic thing. Life is not fair.

Easy, tiger.

For what it's worth, I'm using pan. I was shocked to find that pan
auto-snipped quoted text; however, by hitting "Q" I can toggle whether or
not the newsreader displays quoted text.

I know, I know. I really should be using slrn, but I'm in X almost all
the time these days. My editor of choice is still vim though.

Roger, I know from other threads that you simply don't like me. That's
OK with me but really on this you are just being juvenile.

I'm being juvenile when I ask you about trimming your posts? What about
when you did the same thing to me? You seem to be a "I do no wrong" type of
person.

Ahh! [censored] for tat. OK you win. You are showing great maturity. Answer
one more time and you can even have the last word.

Same here. I love skiing in the winter and cycling in the summer,
and the fitness is actually a secondary factor. But only run for
exercise, not because it holds any enjoyment at all.

Not exactly [censored] for tat since you tried to ask as if when you do it there's
no problem...And thank you, I will take the last word!

Alright, I'll admit it, I use Pan for all my binary newsgroup reading.
The newer version no longer chokes on groups with large numbers of
articles.

A witty saying proves nothing, but saying something pointless gets
people's attention.

You might want to turn them on me; I'm using slrn, but on WinXP with
(shudder) "edit" [1] as my $EDITOR.

[1] Yes, the old MS-DOS edit. The blue one.

Wow. That's just amazingly wrong. I think I might have to have a lie
down now.

Yes. Definitely. I think I'll see if I can find some lavender water
and sprinkle it on a damp cloth for my eyes.
