Recumbent Bicycle Group or Not?
"gotbent" wrote in message .. . "OcalaPCBear" wrote in message oups.com... I joined this group a couple of weeks ago because I am interested in recumbent bicycles. All I have seen so far is tons of drivel from an idiot named Edward Dolan. Eddie boy....if you are such an intellectual as you seem to think you are, why can't you find the appropriate forum for your comments? This is a group about recumbent bicycles not a group to expound on Edward Dolan. Go make yourself a group named Edward Dolan and have a ball! To the rest of you....just ignore him he will go away. Or better yet....is there a moderator? If so block his posts. As for me I have far better things to do with my time. I'm out of here. Wow! What a pathetic rant. There are bent posts here when people aren't spouting off about Ed. Where's the recumbent themed post you were going to share with us Ocala...? This looks like your first and last post and all it did was add to the background noise. Shame on you for enticing us to read your lame complaint with a catchy subject title. Yes, Gotbent and I are not all that far apart on what it takes to have a viable newsgroup. I am here mostly for housekeeping chores. I do not want to see this newsgroup become a chat room for clubby types. I think maybe Gotbent and I might agree on this. Furthermore, I will stay off of politics if everyone else also stays off of politics. If you don't, then I will be here for you. However, I do like to comment from time to time on cultural matters and I will not ever object to anyone who wants to take me on in a civil manner.

Whines about "The Troll" - does NOT own a Sunset Lowracer. DOES NOT whine about "The Troll" - OWNS a Sunset Lowracer. Anyone else notice the correlation? Mr. Sherman's love affair with the Sunset Lowracer is quite idiosyncratic. However, I must admit I almost bought one myself some years ago but I could never overcome the high price. So instead I got a WizWheelz and I have never looked back. More and more I have come to appreciate its low crank (the present ones have a much higher crank). The new Hostel Shoppe catalog has now come out and anyone but me notice how high the cranks are on all the short wheel base recumbents? Only RANS remains sensible to me. The Volaes all have way too high a crank - at least for my foot circulation. The only advantage of a high crank is the laid back seat position, which gives you the ultimate in comfort. But at what cost? Yup - foot numbness. Thanks, but no thanks. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

What good is hoarding money (once one has enough for the necessities of food, shelter, clothing and at least one recumbent)? The Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer is FUN to look at, FUN to discuss and lastly (and most importantly) FUN to ride. The Sunset Lowracer is also [drum roll] ON TOPIC for alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent, so no one can legitimately complain no matter how many times I mention it. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

What good is hoarding money (once one has enough for the necessities of food, shelter, clothing and at least one recumbent)? It is not a question of hoarding money, but a question of having enough to live on. The god damn utilities alone are enough to kill you here in Worthington, Minnesota. And the g.d taxes - well, the less said about that the better. Everyone knows that Minnesota is right up there next to Massachusetts when it comes to taxes. Yea, Minnesota , the land of 10,000 taxes.

The Sunset Lowracer is also [drum roll] ON TOPIC for alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent, so no one can legitimately complain no matter how many times I mention it. I do not mind anyone mentioning recumbents no matter how often. After all, I have got 12 recumbents myself (3 of them are recumbent trikes). Anyone else on this group even approach this number?

And the g.d taxes - well, the less said about that the better. Everyone knows that Minnesota is right up there next to Massachusetts when it comes to taxes. Yea, Minnesota , the land of 10,000 taxes. When most USians complain about paying taxes, their real complaint is that some of the tax money goes to people who are not of their race and class. How many of the rich criticize corporate welfare (aka socialism for business) or those of the middle class despise mortgage deductions? It is also those with the most who complain the loudest; though doubling their taxes would not force any real change in their lifestyle. The egotism of over promoting one's accomplishments, ignoring the good fortune of birth into the proper family and social class, and last but not least, undervaluing the contributions of society and labor in wealth creation is an illness that is destroying this nation and society. One must question the patriotism of those who begrudge supporting the common good of the nation.
