All posts are trolls. Only the quality of the bait distinguishes...

I see your point, but I think St. Ed is extraordinary or at least his
bait should be considered so. Tom Sherman can point you to some
extraordinary threads that continued on to epic proportions due in part
to Ed's expertise as an opportunistic inflammatory conversationalist.
Even so I could not come close to reading one of those threads Tom linked
to from beginning to end. We aren't talking about hit and run stuff
here that is often associated with ordinary trolls.

The only idiot who will ever go back and look up messages on Usenet is Tom
Sherman. I would not be caught dead doing that myself because I know that
90% of what gets said on Usenet is useless and worthless. That is the
natural consequence of not having any editors (moderators).

Jon Meinecke bowed out of this group when I bowed in. He could not take
the kind of heat I offered.


The fact he is still here after all this time would seem to argue against
your claim. Since Mr. Meinecke doesn't appear to be an opportunistic
inflammatory conversationalist and doesn't often inject himself into those
types of conversations then it's likely you just overlooked his presence
during all the crossfire.

You have got to get the frameset price way down. Any handcrafting is
out of the question. I note that Wal-Mart is selling very nice looking
bikes for around $100., so that proves it is possible. Why get hung up
on quality? Very few folks want that in a bicycle. It just has to look
nice.

[Yawn]

The things being sold for $100 are bicycle shaped objects, and will not
hold up under continued use.

They hold up just fine. People have crossed the country on Wal-Mart
bicycles.

Citation?

How about I bounce a citation off your block-head! A cheap bike will hold up
just fine, the only weak link being the wheels. Just get the spokes properly
tensioned and you can ride a Wal-Mart bike around the world - you blockhead!

Usenet is for fun and games only.

Only for folks who have difficulty understanding the English
language. *.tech newsgroups often provide a forum to discuss things
of a technical nature.

To take any of this crap seriously is
insane.

And your credentials to determine this are...?

That is the one indelible lesson I learned from Tom Sherman.

It is doubtful in the extreme that you have learned anything. The
capacity seems lacking...
