Dear "Bill,"
What aliases do you use in what other threads?
Is the real "Bill Franklin" a moron? Shouldn't you email him to let him know how you picked him?
Are your other aliases attached to equally convincing records of achievement?
Do you conceal your fabulous cranks by the simple ruse of letting most other riders pedal
ahead of you?
Or is this just the amusingly cranky response of someone sputtering in water rather over his head?
