Nice bit of cutting Peter, since I never said any of the above!

Err, according to my newsreader, you did. -- Don Whybrow
something wrong with your newsreader then.

"AHD is yet another helmet obsessive. He wears one on his recumbent and it's his trademark!"

The "Cycling needs brains not mouthpieces." bit is Peter's.

Since I didn't post any of the above, either you are right, and someone is very effectively impersonating me electronically, or there is something wrong with the attribution process.

Both statement are in the same posting. If you typed one, you typed the other, assuming you weren't drugged just as you finished paragraph 1 and someone else substituted paragraph 2 before hitting send.
Do you have any other plausible explanation? The whole message says (I've cut out some longer headers):

Nobody here believes you. Let that be a lesson in not being too hasty. H-threads are bad enough with professional trolls and amateur evangelists. More light: Good. More heat: Bad.

The CTC has made an unwise move, I think.
According to the copy of Cycle which arrived this morning, Jon Snow is the new CTC president, having been invited to take the role once Phil Liggett steps down.
This will be Jon Snow, the newsreader, who back in February on 'Richard & Judy' (13th February 2006) admitted he tells people not to take up cycling as "it's too dangerous out there" and that cyclists should be kept separate from traffic on separate facilities, so promoting the erroneous view that cycling is inherently dangerous. How long is it going to take before this comes back and bites the CTC in its organisational backside when the media picks up on how the CTC has a president who thinks cyclists should be kept off the roads, yet at the same time supporting Daniel Cadden, a CTC member who was fined for cycling on the road. Mixed messages from the CTC, anyone?
I feel like handing in my CTC membership in disgust.
Cheers, helen s

Since that was part of the "any of the above" you just said you didn't write any of, that rather undermines the chances that the problem is really a forgery including a mixture of stuff you did and didn't write, and increases the chances that you just forgot what you said.
"something wrong with the attribution process" is ruled right out by going to your original post (or at least the post which appears to be from you).
