Michael Wrote: I'm undecided. People who don't wear helmets are stupid plain as day. Hi Michael. Unlike you I'm not undecided. I think people who say - as you did - "People who don't wear helmets are stupid plain as day." are stupid plain as day. Just in case you don't get what I'm saying Michael I'll say it again in another way. Michael, if anyone is plain as day stupid, it's you. Is that clear? Roger -- RogerDodger |

See http://www.google.com/groups?selm=355ca440.54640388%40news.gmd.de&output =gplain where Wolfgang Strobl said precisely that - that he used the x-no-archive flag. I don't see why he'd lie about it given that he was explaining to someone why a search of DejaNews (before Google bought it) wouldn't work, and seemed to be trying to help that person out. Bill, I'm continually astounded that you don't embarrass yourself to silence. What you should be embarassed by, Krygowski, is your bald-faced lies and baseless statements like the above when you really don't have the facts and are too inept to check for yourself. All you had to do was to search messages in rec.bicycles.soc whose author is Strobl and with the phrase x-no-archive. It took a couple of minutes and is not particularly difficult. But, your behavior is typical of you, and that is precisely why I have no respect for you - it is not an error on your part given how often you do this sort of thing. Oh, and one other thing - I posted it with the caveat "if I remembered correctly." It meant what it said. Your statement about "inventing things" is simply character assassination. You'd fit quite well in Bush's election campaign - those *******s have the same ethics you do. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

Bill Z. wrote: Frank Krygowski writes: If all these helmets are really doing what you believe, the benefits should be detectable. There's been an increase in red-light running and other reckless behavior, plus a huge increase in the average vehicle size, all of which make cycling more dangerous than before. Ah. Interesting conjecture. But I see you've posted no evidence to support it - as usual. Read the ****ing newspapers. See http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2000/12/05/MNW14097.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/examiner/archive/1996/12/31/NEWS8420.dtl http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1996/09/12/MN74703.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1996/09/11/MN57241.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/examiner/archive/1995/11/14/EDITORIAL4921.dtl The last URL states "I had worked in San Francisco since 1979, except for one year in Colorado. I returned to The City in December 1994 and no longer felt safe here. "There were so many instances of red-light running. You could see 50, 60 a day at Sutter and Kearny." This is a well known problem. I shouldn't have to post "evidence" for what you should know if you merely kept up with current events. Now's the time for you to post some evidence of both the increase in red light running, and the increased cycling danger. See above, including the cyclist fatalities. Couple that change in behavior with larger vehicles and the results are simply obvious to anyone with half a brain. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

You'd fit quite well in Bush's election campaign - those *******s have the same ethics you do. Isn't it funny the way people who don't like a position (that mandatory helmet laws are harmful and counterproductive) but can't find any facts to back up their position, attack the person (messenger) instead? Truth is absolute, and does not depend on the personal characteristics of the person telling the truth. So if a person attacks me personally I merely take that as evidence that he (no, it usually isn't a she) can't find anything wrong with my statements. What little we hear about the MHL here in NZ is usually against the law. The pro-law people seem to have gone mute.

Peter, you are wasting your time. As far as Zaumen is concerned there
are only two types of people in the world: people who agree with him, and liars. The former group contains, at last count, exactly one member: Zaumen himself, and strangely, all the expertise seems to be among the "liars." Bill has a real talent for unforced errors, gratuitous ignorance, and arguig himself into a hole. The hole in question being positioned - well, you can probably guess where ;-) Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

Over here, the pro-speeding lobby love tom claim that speeding is not a crime because you don't go to jail, but they are flat wrong. The fact that the state prosecutes the offence makes it a criminal matter, and it is heard in the criminal courts. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

wrote: I think many parents and youth are simply unaware of the inherent dangers of sport and the benefits if wearing helmets as was the cace with seatbelts. The law will change all. I think this is a crock of ****. If you look at the percentage of head injuries in cyclists and pedestrians in NZ, and co-plot against helemt wearing rates, it is absolutely plain that there is no measurable effect. You can't guess from the chart which line is peds and which cyclists. In the USA, the cyclist head injury rate has risen by 40% in the last ten years, as helmet use has increased threefold to 50%, with cyclist numbers reducing by 21%. As ever with road safety, what is "obvious" is wrong. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
