Time importance in general, since they are 'toys'.

I wouldn't disagree with Peter's statements IF this were a general
discussion newsgroup that also just happened to be a forum for selling. But there are several rec.bicycles bulletin boards that are tailored for different uses. I think most people come to marketplace to see what is for sale, not to read bickering about subjects that are covered ad nauseum in rec.bicycles.racing and others. If you are into this sort of discourse (I admit it is sometimes entertaining) you owe it to yourself to visit RBR. They have taken things to levels unimaginable on RBM. But I digress... The "guidelines" for posting are established to keep the forum from degenerating until it is no longer a valuable medium. Eventually people who really want to buy and sell will stop coming. Maybe just a few at a time, but after a while they will be missed. Then you can talk about Lance all you want, but it might be tough to reach people who want to buy or sell bike parts. =) Jordan I On 7/27/05 10:42 AM, in article , "Fritz" wrote: On 26 Jul 2005 06:09:08 -0700, "Qui si parla Campagnolo" wrote: Jordan Hukee wrote: Threads about Lance¹s personal life and ³what bike should I buy² threads are not supposed to be posted here in the Marketplace...

First off, set your newsreader to display messages in a threaded fashion instead of individually. That dramatically condenses the list of posts and makes it easy to ignore threads that you have no interest in. If that's not good enough for you, all you have to do is click on any message in the "offending" thread and and hit the "k" key to kill the thread. You won't see it again. Problem solved. If there are particular people who's posts you don't want to see, it's a simple procedure to create a filter. Check the Help for your newsreader for details. If you happen to bd using a lame newsreader that doesn't offer these features, download Mozilla Thunderbird. It's free and it's an excellent mail/news program. www.mozilla.org |

So do they (I). "Yakking", other. The "guidelines" for posting are established to keep the forum from degenerating until it is no longer a valuable medium.

Then you can talk about Lance all you want, but it might be tough to reach people who want to buy or sell bike parts. =) Well, someone crossposted the "Lance left his family" crap to rbm and rbr. You're right, IMHO, about rbm being polluted to some extent (it'll flush) but hey, I gotta say: Subject Line. "I've got my nose up Lance Armstrong's ass" doesn't indicate a "parts for money/trade" for all the OP/crossposter might have been trying to sell something here. "Don't click on it here, go over to rbr" g A K.P. low yield thermonuclear reminder to the cross poster? Completely in order AFAIC. Over n' out. --TP |
