    Just looking at a thread on gyming to improve cycle performance and it went on for 24 pages (constructive talk though) so the threads here are not to bad providing they stay on topic, the exception may be the one below.

    The thread is up to 23 pages now.

    I often skip those posts. It's usually not worth the bother.

    Particularly when they're posted from cycleforums and the quoting is
    all borked, and you can't tell the quotes from the rest.

    Life's too short...

    Does it look like that on Cyclinforums itself, I wonder?

    Someone in America once asked my (ex-)housemate (we all subscirbe!1!
    to the same Lunix lists) to get me some decaf, because of my on-list
    ranting[1].

    I had to tell him I didn't drink coffee anymore, let alone "coffee".

    [1] Who woulda thunk?
