And apparently he bought two more since he posted about owning just
one at 8:56 AM. I hope there isn't a run on them now!

Can you corner the market for something that's round?

Round things form a natural hexagonal array with nice corners when you
have enough of them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But three is not enough.

You've added two in the last 11 minutes. Does that mean you are adding one
every 5 1/2 minutes, or trippling the number every 11 minutes? If it is the
latter, you will own the total world supply in about half a day.

May be they are non-cerebral neurons

Well he does have SOME brain activity. He was able to form words in the
original post. But then again chimps can be taught to spell simple words
too.

My BF is a working bike. I use it for basic transportation everywhere.
It is made in Oregon by Americans. Designed by Americans. I have had
generally good experiences when I have needed to contact BF, because
they all speak English, and most if not all employees are
college-educated. And they are genuinely concerned about building and
supporting quality products. BF is an American success story, by
anyone's standards.

I really do not understand why so many Usenet 'experts' habitually make
negative / sarcastic comments when someone asks a legitimate question.
One of the first things I developed when I joined the Usenet community
is a thick skin.

I initially hoped that RBT would be troll-free, because my initial
newbie questions were answered professionally, quickly, and in great
detail. Certain people went way out of their way, and were very
generous with their time, to help me out. Their assistance represents
the best that Usenet has to offer: Free advice from fellow bike riders,
who are not trying to sell me anything. Such advice is invaluable.

I have seen some Usenet newsgroups be virtually destroyed by trolls.
Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid such cretins. Anyone who can
avoid drooling into the keyboard is allowed to make his inane comments.

Unfortunately we all have feet of clay. I believe if you carefully look
at the posting trail here, you might find that you posted:

------------------------
Subject: yeah i own 3

what do you need to know

jay
------------------------

As one might imagine, since this was a new thread with no referrents to
any others, people were confused. They said amongst themselves "What
are these three things?" "Do they carry great power?" "Should we be
worried?"

In future, try to use your immense literary powers with a touch more
care. Lest the natives become restive or even fractious.

N.B. Given that you posted via Google groups, I'm guessing such was not
your intent. GGs has been rather idiosyncratic with many
newsgroups lately.

In this case, it was a play on the way you disconnected
your rather unconnected "what do you need to know" from
any context. Google's broken, but you could have included
some of the message you were replying to.

Which model you have?

I'm "thinking" of the New World Tourist model to be
used as my only bike for all uses.

Would an example of an inane comment be something like "yeah, I own 3" without
any threading, quoting or clue as to what sort of things those three might be?
