I am only doing this temporarily with the hope of saving ARBR. Once ARBR
recovers its' former health, I will stop with the cross posting. In the
meantime, bear with me.
However, is doesn't hurt the other cycling newsgroups to get in on this
issue of mountain biking on hiking trails. I think most of us are strictly
road cyclists, but there is a minority out there (mountain bikers) who are
ruining the trails for hikers.
Also, I am not sure what the value is of splitting up these cycling groups
into so many different ones. Very many topics cut across all cycling groups.
I think it is mainly the clubby types who want to keep things the way they
are. They like to dominate there own groups and do not want any interference
from outsiders. ARBR was full of these types too until I got rid of them.
RBS especially is sort of catch all cycling group I would say. The vast
majority of posts to this group are trivial beyond measure. They are
essentially mindless, fit only for idiots, morons and imbeciles. RBS needs
input from other groups which are not nearly so stupid as it. When a
newsgroup is reduced to nothing but greetings and other such nonsense, then
you know it has died and gone to hell. The clubby womanly types have taken
over. Like Somerset Maugham, I am not a clubable man.
