Yes, technically - but he'll only accuse you of abusive behaviour, and your
email/post will be posted on more groups and forums and private emails to
others than you want to know about.
It's more fun to stay polite and let him be the ill-mannered lout.

I just returned from the Grand Canyon. Erosion is a good thing. What a
beauty.

We really need to stop the mountain bikers whose trail erosion led to
the Grand Canyon.

Happy trails,

Tim,

I believe what cc meant is that using four letter "profane" words might
encourage others to read and thus insight interest in the message you are
trying to convey because it adds a little "color". I failed to sense the
rude nature you are refering to.

peace out,

mr

Thanks cap'n random. Remember, thick paper is better, and don't forget to
look at all the colors.

Exactly the opposite of what I was saying, I'm afraid. Four letter words will
only INCITE (note spelling) MV into claiming abuse (been done before, will be
done again, trust me)

I failed to sense the
rude nature you are refering to.

Well then 4Q AND the whores you rode in on. Does that explain the "four-letter
rude" enough for ya? ;-)

1. Why do people mountain bike?

Now that's a question worth discussing!

There are as many reasons as there are mountain bikers. Some do it for
the exercise, some for the scenery, some just enjoy being outdoors on a
bike. Some enjoy the challenge of a hard climb. Others get an adrenaline
rush from riding downhill. To some it's a comptetitive sport. To others
it's simply recreation. Some pride themselves on finesse--"cleaning" a
section of trail without putting a foot down. Others take pride in
getting through the same section with out falling down.

For some, it's the company and cameraderie of other riders. For others,
it's all about silence and solitude. Some mountain bikers ride without
stopping and stay focused on the trail. Others carry binoculars or
cameras, stopping frequently to watch birds or photograph wildlife.

We are often passionate about riding and protective about the trails we
ride. We love them no less than those who travel by foot or horse. We
don't want our trails turned into housing developments or golf courses.

If you want to know why people mountain bike, don't ask a failed
academic who can barely ride a bike. Ask the people who are out there
riding!

thousands) of children over the past 32 years, respected colleague,
dedicated "roadie", and occasional mountain biker.

And the rest of us mortals just enjoy the fall if we have it, get back up and
keep riding (if we can), instead of complaining to the world about how
"incomfortable" the ride was.
