    Don't you mean "fortunate", not "unfortunate"? Or do you not like BROL
    either?

    Ed,

    Unfortunate is the correct term in this instance. BROL is a bulletin board.
    Because of your inadequate attention span a bulletin board will drive you
    crazy. Subthreads don't exist so bulletin boards are hard to read. BROL is
    also moderated, so if Bryan doesn't like a topic he can lock the topic down.
    You can't write there like you can here. You would have been locked out of
    BROL after your first arrogant month.

    I do not believe in false modesty. If no one else here is able to
    recognize my superior intellect, than I must blow my own horn. What
    you call arrogance I call truth.

    The deficiencies of BROL that you describe above would not seem to
    apply to the likes of Cletus. He has the moderator mentality himself
    and he never follows up on any thread because someone is always
    pissing him off. The one thing he does best is kill file. He should
    revel in BROL. The only question is what is he doing here on ARBR.

    I recently was involved in a topic that eventually was locked down by Bryan.
    I think it was unfortunate for everyone involved, but Bryan has a right to
    determine how the board will be used and while I didn't agree with Bryan
    locking the topic down, I respect him for that.

    You are a newbie to computers and usenet. You don't understand what this
    newsgroup is for. It is not for you! It WAS for recumbent bicycles, but
    you and you alone, not Tom, not Cletus, not me, have essentially ruined this
    newsgroup. I have a feeling everywhere you have gone in your life people
    have hated you. You are now alone, holed up in Worthington, and your only
    existence is probably your computer because no one else will talk to you.

    All this coming from a guy who was kicked off of BROL! He would like
    to moderate this group so he could kick some of us off too. He is a
    little [censored]. Minnesota is full of these types of characters. Aren't
    the rest of you glad that you don't live anywhere near here.

    For those ignorant of this state, Perry lives in a typical miserable
    little town (Alexandria) that would like to think of itself as part of
    the Great White North, but it is only on the edges and is therefore no
    better than the burg I am living in. But the further North you live in
    this state the more the snob factor kicks in. But those of us who live
    here know better. Frankly, if you live in Minnesota, you are a jerk
    who was probably born here and have never been anywhere else in your
    life.
