Getbet gotbent. In fact, I've ridden 5500 miles ridden since March... 1187 on my recumbent and rest (the majority) on my upright (real bike).

Yeah ... you have your Willy or your Peter (whatever you call it) to keep you company. You are alone because no one can tolerate you. Here is Jimbo showing his true colors.

Ed Dloan just can't take a joke. I guess when you are Dolan's age, your short term memory fails you or the misogynist would surely recall the vulgarity that he has spewed at various female members that have since departed ARBR, not that the male gender has been spared his vulgarity, mind you. Any vulgarity I have ever directed to anyone, male or female, has been richly deserved. Many of the former women posters to these cycling newgroups have been truly digusting and a disgrace to womankind. One thing is for sure, I do not believe there has ever been a single lady on any of these cycling newsgroups. Hey, I treat a lady like a lady and a tramp like a tramp. I know that some of you misdirected cretins go just the opposite of that, but that is your mistake, not mine. Only truly vulgar folks resort to sexual innuendo. It is ALWAYS the mark of a cad. It is why Jim McNamara (and Perry Butler of Fergus Falls, Minnesota) are cads and why Tom Sherman is NOT a cad. Of course, it would behoove all of you to become more like me, a paragon of virtue and Saintliness. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota An erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary is a comforting thing. Its called delusion ... the mind- numbing opiate of the Minnesota hermit. |

No. It's to make us think about what we're doing and saying. Which is, in a word: nothing of substance. Just a bunch of the same old predictable, circular razmatazz. Think about it. A keyboard is a pretty crummy interface to the real world. A bicycle is a pretty good interface to the real world. (A pair of feet is even better in some respects.) Anyways, you obviously haven't disappeared yet, despite your perceived notions of Ed trying to annihilate you and "make you disappear." Maybe you should forego your recumbents and get back involved with real bikes. And ride them. Get away from the 'puter -- in fact, maybe just turn it off. And relax a little. Breathe air instead of bytes. Eat food instead of Usenet posts. Go somewhere real instead of cybereal. Get your hands dirty. Eat a peach. Know what you are, who you are, where you are going, and don't let the Ed Dolans of the world get you down.

No. It's to make us think about what we're doing and saying. Personally I don't think that Dolan is in a position to offer much in the way of anything worthwhile in that respect. I have yet to feel inspired of even challenged his "insightful wisdom" and I certainly don't value the man's opinion. Which is, in a word: nothing of substance. Just a bunch of the same old predictable, circular razmatazz. S,o then you agree that what Ed Dolan has to offer is little more than the same old banal, recycled and regurgitated inane gibberish. Think about it. A keyboard is a pretty crummy interface to the real world. Agreed. In this regard, I once wrote ... for Ed Dolan, the computer and the Internet are merely tools that fill a social void. By his own admission, Ed lives detached in reclusive solitude, devoid of real- life interpersonal relationships. Absorbed in his own wayward drama, Internet forums have become Ed's cyberspace playpen and serve as ersatz social interaction that only momentarily disrupts his otherwise self-sequestered isolation. Trust me, Ed Dolan is not my role model and this will never become in my future. A bicycle is a pretty good interface to the real world. And, a mobile one too. (A pair of feet is even better in some respects.) Yep, things pass by less quickly and consequently can be absorbed and appreciated more. Anyways, you obviously haven't disappeared yet, despite your perceived notions of Ed trying to annihilate you and "make you disappear." I may disappear though as this is arguably a waste of time and energy. Maybe you should forego your recumbents and get back involved with real bikes. And ride them. Get away from the 'puter -- in fact, maybe just turn it off. You must not have seen my reply in this regard, but I suspect that I have ridden my bike more than many on this forum in the past 8 months (5500 miles... 1186 on my recumbent and 4314 on my "real bike"). My "REAL BIKE" specifications: Frame - Spectrum Cycles/Merlin 60.5cm titanium Component Group - Shimano Dura-Ace 10-spd Brake calipers - Ciamillo Zero Gravity 0G-07 Ti Crankset - FC-R700 Compact (175mm) Chainrings - 50-34 Cassette - 12-23 Chain - Wippermnan (Connex 10S8) Pedals - Shimano Dura-Ace (PD-7810) Wheelset - Mavic Kysrium SSC SL S3 (clincher) Fork - Reynolds UL (43mm rake) Headset - Chris King w/matching Chris King precision headset spacers and stem cap (pewter) Handlebar Stem - Deda Elementi Zero100 Servizio Corse (120mm, Dark Metal Polish) Handlebar - Deda Elementi Newton 31, anatomic (44cm, Dark Metal Polish) Seatpost - Thompson Masterpiece (31.6mm) Saddle - Selle Italia PROlink light Gel Flow (black), Tires/Tubes - Hutchinson Fusion Comp clinchers (700x23 w/gray stripe) Bar Tape - Cinelli cork (black) Ceramic Bearing Upgrades - Full Speed Ahead (CeramicSpeed) for wheelset and Velo Carbon Racing Components bottom bracket and derailleur pulleys I trust that you will agree that a bike of this quality approaching $7000 constitutes a "real bike" and the miles that I've ridden are indicative of someone who devotes a significant amount of time in the saddle and away from the computer upon which I still do spend entirely too much time. And relax a little. Breathe air instead of bytes. Eat food instead of Usenet posts. Go somewhere real instead of cybereal. Get your hands dirty. Eat a peach. Know what you are, who you are, where you are going, and don't let the Ed Dolans of the world get you down. Use 'em to raise you up. I have to say that this is mostly good advise except for that last part maybe about Ed Dolan raising me up although I have to admit, the depths to which he has sunk is uplifting in its own right. In this regard, I once wrote ... It must really suck to be head swollen ... HEAD Dolan. With no one allegedly worthy of his companionship, the reclusive, sanctimonious hermit has little more than ARBR from which to derive meaning in his life. Usenet newsgroups (particularly ARBR) has assumed an exaggerated prominence in his hierarchical order of relevance and emerged as the source from which Ed garners his sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Regardless of his expressed opinion of the readership, without the lifeblood of the Usenet newsgroup audience to sustain him, Ed Dolan has nothing and is nothing. What a pathetic, shallow existence. Pity the cantankerous, misguided troglodyte. Rest assured that I do breathe real air, eat real food, go places real, enjoy getting my hands dirty and didn't take all of that so literally as not to read the message embedded between the lines and appreciate your concern. Do not misinterpret what that I have written. Know that I am comfortable with what and who I am and with the direction in which I am headed. Know too that, try as they may, the Ed Dolan's and Mike Vandeman's of the world do not, cannot and will not ever define what and who I am. I wish I were in California right about now. The raw weather here in Chicago this time of year is not conducive to riding. - Jim McNamara cheers, Tom -- "Silently falling ..." -- Chris Squire/Fish Out of Water I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

If one is going to be class consciousness, one should first get some... class that is. What we have here is a typical reply stereotyping an entire group of people with a conclusion that does not follow from the premise. Class and the type of alcohol consumed or not consumed have no significant relationship or correlation, but that didn't hinder Dolan from running his mouth about that which he knows preciously little. And, I am not strictly a beer drinker and asserting that I am does not alter reality. You would have to have been a hospital corpsman in the Navy for 4 years and have had to deal with drunken sailors to know what I am talking about. These guys all got stinking drunk as skunks on beer every god damn ****ing weekend. They did not even know what wine was, let alone a good whiskey. A more egregious band of louts you would never want to meet this side of Hell. Furthermore, everyone in the world knows that Chicago and its hinterland is a land of beer drinking louts just as is the enlisted military of all the services (not just the Navy). New Yorkers have some class. I have never heard of anyone from Chicago having any class. Hells Bells, every time Jim McNamara (and Ed Gin, etc.) post to these honorable cycling newsgroups we bear witness to just this fact. Yea, they are low class slobs who only know how to drink beer and make sexual innuendoes when backed into a corner. What we have here is another sterling example of Ed Dolan's slanderous, farcical broad brush stereotyping of all who reside in a particular geographical area. I guess I have to repeat myself so that my message can seep into the thick skull of this doddering old dolt . I enjoy some other forms of alcohol other than beer, but can't recall the last time I was drunk. Consumption to excess does not constitute enjoyment for me. Does this mean that by Ed's requisites I must now have to vacate the Chicago hinterland??? Tom Sherman, even though I believe he does live in the Chicago hinterland, does not fall into the above class of human being. He spent a boyhood in the lovely state of Wisconsin and this has saved him from a fate worse than death.

Know what you are, who you are, where you are going, and don't let the Ed Dolans of the world get you down. Use 'em to raise you up. The trouble with so many on these newsgroups is that they actually take this **** seriously. I am having a good laugh every time I read and answer a post. If I weren't I would be long gone. You said it best sometime ago when you said screw ego! The trouble is that types like Jim McNamara can never do that. He is mired in eternal adolescence where his self image depends on what others think and say about him. I left that world behind over 55 years ago. Learning come from repetition so why then does not Ed Dlaon lear form repetition? OK ... One more time ... try as they may, the Ed Dolan's and Mike Vandeman's of the world do not, cannot and will not ever define what and who I am. Let me make it even more clear for you by repeating what I have said countless times before. Your opinion matters not, because you matter not. Now could not have said that any more plainly? Keep up the good work there on the docks of rancid old Vancouver in soggy old British Columbia. Xmas is coming and we would be lost without all that good **** coming from China. Speaking of eating peaches ... No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two, Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, Deferential, glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-- Almost, at times, the Fool. I grow old ... I grow old ... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black. We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S.
