at the time, the local place I got it from was the same as anything I could find on the web.

I still think my old nikon coolpix had better optics, tho.

I LOVE the Canon "S" models...the Digital Elphs...think they're up to S400 now. They are wicked
small, rugged (I've flopped on mine plenty) and full featured. Perfect for the C'back.

I'd be interested...keep us posted. Though AMB-ID is the end of that month, right? Might be out of
kitchen passes if I go to Yellow Pine.

No, it isn't. It is a lie. I am a bicyclist myself. I hate MOUNTAIN BIKING. How can one hate people
as pathetically addicted to a destructive sport as mountain bikers are?

> Everyone is
entitled to their own opinion.

>However, I think that's incredibly disrespectful and shows extremely
poor taste to post an article that tells that someone has died, and give it a title that such as
"Mountain Biking Takes Another Victim."

That's just the truth. I know that mountain bikers HATE for anyone to tell the truth about their
selfish sport.

> Can't
you set aside your propaganda war long enough to actually think that this a human who has died.

What about all the animals and plants that died, as a result of his activities? Aren't they
important? Or are humans more important, no matter what they do?

>Your arguments had little credibility with me prior to the post. After
this post I wonder if you are simply an unfeeling monster. I'm sad this person died, it could have
happened to anyone that enjoys the outdoors - hiker, biker, bird watcher, etc.

Nonsense. He does SPECIFICALLY because he was RACING A MOUNTAIN BIKE. No one else would have been
hurt by seeing a hole in the trail.

> I'm saddened by his death, and I'm
appalled at you and your post.

I'm appalled by mountain bikers' total inability to tell the truth! You are one of the lowest forms
of human life. That is not hate; that is just FACT, judging by your own behavior. You are saddened
by the death of a mountain biker, but NOT by his destruction of the natural environment!

How come you never actually SAY anything?

You NEVER provide any proof of what you say. Your comments are mostly hearsay, and personal
observation. the fact is thast even if 100% of all bike routes were EXCLUSIVELY bike routes AND were
entirely the environmental wasteland that you claim they are, the total impact to the environment
would be less than .0004%. That very small number REQUIRES the devistation of 100% of all bike
routes, AND it requires 1 mile of trail for each square mile of habitat. The habitat has less than a
mile of trail for each square mile, and the FACT is that 100% of all trails is not an environmental
wasteland.

This is the truth. Why can't you address it intelligently?

Actually, Mike is right. Mountain biking is very dangerous. I've gotten the **** beaten out of me
mountain biking. However, I remember when I was a kid, and we used to go out in the woods and chop
down trees for fun. Man, did we create some devastation! I suggest we all get back at Ma Nature
for all the skin we've lost. Let's sell our bikes, get atv's and chainsaws and KICK SOME WOODSY
OWL ASS!!!

Thanks for your honesty. It's amazing how many mountain bikers are unwilling to admit what is
obvious to everyone else.

Well, yes. We're too stupid to understand such erudite comments as "BS", "Duh", and "Liar".
Articulate, well-thought-out commentary, Mikey. Perhaps we just don't have the vision, the
intelligence, the education to see the meaning those concise dropping or the genius that's
behind them.

We must have missed it because you laced it with liberal doses of LIAR, Duh, and other blathering.

Try to address the issue once again, and use the big words.
