You can yell and scream all day, but its the groups who get organized who manage to sway policy. MV is an idiot who's sole purpose is to spam NG's. He doesn't want to debate, he wants to use up bandwidth. For all the brain cells he's used staring at his computer he's never accomplished anything. Join your local bike club, do some trail MX, send some $$ to the IMBA, that's all it take to counter his rabid foaming. He's not the guy to worry about. It's the sane, organized groups who want to block bike access that should be the focus of concern. Just a thought anyway Tom |

I supposed that spamming NGs and writing 50 page manifestos is being 'loud', but what I was refering to was targeted campaigning to people with power. In other words, organization. To-may-to, to-mah-to. Join your local bike club, do some trail MX, send some $$ to the IMBA, that's all it take to counter his rabid foaming. To be honest, I don't mountain bike, and haven't for some time. I do a bit of road biking, but it's only a minor hobby. He's not the guy to worry about. It's the sane, organized groups who want to block bike access that should be the focus of concern. I'm not worried about him. I just enjoy provoking kooks. -- __ __ _ ___ ___ / _|/ _/ |_ _|_ _| \_ ( (( o | | | | |__/\__\_/|_| |_| |
