You were the only one to dispute my thesis.
An appeal to numbers is absolutely meaningless. * You cannot presume a

conclusion that does not directly follow from a premise ... logic
101. *Did you ever think that is it possible that no one was willing
to take you to task concerning something that is so obvious that only
you don't seem to recognize it?

There are probably at least a dozen or so folks reading the messages on
these newsgroups. If had said anything truly outrageous, I would have heard
something,

You sound almost disappointed that you've not heard anything. Allow
me to sort this out for you. Firstly, I didn't assert that you said
something outrageous. What you said (wrote) was presumptuous,
inaccurate, insignificant, irrelevant, illogical and therefore
meaningless. Now, because others undoubtedly recognize this, why
would thy need to chime in when I was doing just fine pointing out the
obvious without any assistance? The fact remains that your conclusion
and you premise are both indefensible, but apparently only you are
unable or unwilling to recognize the obvious.

heard were your moans and groans.

You actually hear words. What a talent!

I am used to that and
discount almost everything you say. You are all about spite and that is all
you have ever been about. I sure am glad I am not you!

I'm glad you 'rea not me too because that would mean I'd be you ...
perish the thought.

But your argument that not
everyone is the same does not hold.
You confuse fact with argument. *They are not synonymous. *That

everyone is not the same is factual. *If this were not the case there
would be one motor vehicle suitable to all drivers. *Variance in
anatomical structure, intended use and even preference all dictate
that no single recumbent design is suitable for all riders. *Your
errant assertion remains unsubstantiated.

90% of all recumbent riders are the same.

Repetition is no substitute for valid argument. Repeating a falsehood
ad nauseum does not prove anything. No matter how many times you
repeat something, it will not become any more than it was with the
first utterance (logical fallacy ... Argumentum ad nauseam).

They are elderly men who bicycle
for fun and exercise. They mostly do not go fast and have no interest in
racing anyone, least of all anyone on an upright. The recumbent that I
recommend would suit these 90% of recumbent cyclists. Low racers and high
racers are strictly for the racing crowd, a very small group indeed.
[...]

In your opinion you mean ... customarily stated as though undeniable
fact. There are many young recumbent riders locally and many of them
enjoy riding fast too. Soe ride low racers; some ride high racers, ab
some other types. Why? because that is what suits them in spite of
you unsubstantiated nonsense. I have to say though that I have not
seen many young or fast riders on trikes, a recumbent that seems to
primarily appeal to those seeking comfort.

I have NEVER seen a kid on a recumbent. Nor have I ever seen many younger
people on them either. The kind of folks who ride recumbents are elderly
(over 40) and primarily men. They do not go fast nor do they particularly
want to. They ride for fun and exercise. And the one and only reason any of
them ever gets a recumbent is for the comfort factor. The recumbent that I
recommend would suit 90% of all recumbent riders perfectly.

Recumbent trikes are no more or no less comfortable than any other kind of
recumbent.
