    Could resist a fine opp. to plug the SS life.

    If you "could resist" then why didn't you, and spare us yet another SS ad 😉

    SS - riding for those to dumb to work out how gears work 😉

    True,

    bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should
    give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    OK, a few weeks ago my 8-spd XT shifter broke on my hardtail (which I'm TRYING to ride again).

    So a nameless friend who shall remain Michael Paul sent me some links to shifters on E-bay. I
    registered in order to bid on one, but then got mine repaired under warranty. (Didn't win auction,
    anyway.)

    But now I get a ZILLION E-bay pop-ups a day! (I use Popup Killer, and it DOES [censored]! em, but
    doesn't stop them from starting.)

    I looked on the site to try to UN-register, but couldn't find a way to even contact anyone.

    Any of you have experience with this?!?

    Dump Windows, download FreeBSD, get into the Unix thing, and say goodbye to spam.

    Does that help?

    1) this stops javascript pop-ups how? (unless your browser doesn't support javascript, in which case
    you wont get far on ebay anyway)

    2) it doesn't have to be FreeBSD, it could be any one of the Free 'nix operating systems.

    Also Netscape 7.0.1 and Mozilla have option built in to kill pop-ups. Try it.

    Hey Matt,

    On today's ride MP & I ran into a guy from GJ (yellow Haro hardtail) who said he owns a
    bike shop.

    I asked him if he knew you and Mary, but he didn't recognize your names/descriptions. Said he's
    involved with CO Points

    Erm, uhm...if you lived in GJ, that might have made some sense!

    Bill "Gunnison, Grand Junction...they both start with 'G'" S.

    Yeah. I don't know that many GJ folks. Just the handful you probably know too.
