It's Official, summary of thread longer than thread itself!!

Congratulations, the summary of the disc brake thread is now longer
that the original thread (340 vs. 311 posts.) Well done!!!

We're working on it. It's almost 100% content-free. Anyone with half a
brain should have killfiled it by now. I'm proud to say that my pathetic
play on words hijacked the thread in an early stage most successfully.

Oh, I don't know. There's a certain pleasure in watching a good flame
war, as there is in watching any kind of fire.

My favorite was that guy Doug who posted a used Trek 27.2 seatpost on
rec.bike.marketplace for like 200+ times before someone got tired of
his postings and bought it! Classic....

Only 335 to go before this commentary on the summary of the disc brake
thread becomes longer than both the disc brake thread and the summary
of the disc brake thread.

The less sense it all makes, the more redundant, and the more
irrelevant the better.

We usenetters with too much time on our hands can do it!

Sheesh. That's still nowhere near the length of the Great Helmet
Flame War of a while back. ISTR that it went past 800.

Over on alt.callahans, about 5 or 6 years ago, there was an
Existential Flame War that went on for about as long as the r.b.t
Great Helmet Flame War, with the principal difference being that the
EFW was a heck of a lot more entertaining.

But do helmets use right-hand or left-hand threads?

[Self-described pithy observations about the irrelevance of many of
the postings to the subject of the original threads, followed by
disparaging comments concerning the alleged inaccuracies and
distortions in the supposedly relevant articles, with aspersions cast
on the posters of same alluding to their hidden agendas.]
