Believe it or not, trimming extraneous quoted text is a common practice on
Usenet and one that is generally encouraged (as is delineating one's
signature properly with two dashes and a space, but we'll save that for
next week's class).

Of course, if "the reader," who is no doubt hanging on the edge of his
seat waiting to see whether your words have been quoted out of
context, wishes to determine this for himself he certainly may go
back and re-read the other post. That's one of the reasons why
trimming quoted text is an accepted practice. He won't find anything that
changes the meaning of the text I left in, though. Questions were asked
about music on group/organized rides, and I answered them from my
perspective. There ain't much else to it.

Was there anything else you wanted to discuss, or are you just keeping me
on the line because you want somebody to talk to?

Huh?

I've had speakers on my commuter for decades, I play them quietly, of
course so I han still hear traffic. I only tried them during a
recreational ride once, on a double century. But I only played music
duringthe times when I was alone. The rest of the time there were real
people to pass the time with.
