This kind of thing is becoming downright common! It underscores the fact that

trails are irresponsible! There is absolutely no way to make mountain biking
safe.

Really? Well, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission,
basketball is actually the sport responsible for the most injuries.
Perhaps you could bugger off to bother a basketball newsgroup instead?

On Mikey's brief crusade against cell phone usage, he posted to the
same 5 groups he always posts his anti-mountain bike crusade in,
instead of actually relevant groups.

Either he is stupid, or does not care if anyone takes him seriously.

(This not not preclude both of the above being true.)

Happy trails,
