.. Vandeman is that kid, just older. The deformations of his neural pathways

.. On the other hand, he may be brilliant. He may just be FOR mountain biking.
.. Using reverse psychology to unite just about everyone with an IQ above room

..
.. Alas, I don't think that's what he is. He's just a disturbed human being.
.. Let's just be grateful he isn't spending all his time in a cabin with a copy

Careful! Telling the truth will ruin this newsgroup ... for the mountain bikers.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
