    You know, this message you wrote is quite a troll.

    I think he was hoping for more character assassination
    against me.

    How's this:

    I think 'bents are kind of neat, shimano is better than
    campy, and helmets are for accessorizing only.

    campy campy campy. blah!

    campagnolo. what was so bloody hard about that! at least
    over in England they say campag, which doesn't sound half
    as.....campy.

    I get the feeling he was tired of the serious political
    debaters on the political newsgroups and decided to set
    up house here where he thought he left-leaning
    political assertions would be more readily accepted and
    the resident political debating skills would be less
    finely honed.

    I bet if I were a right winger, you'd be cheering me on.
    Don't be a [censored]. Either killfile me or leave me alone.

    No, I'd tell you to STFU because your abrasive style only
    turns people against any arguement you provide. :-)

    You're side isn't abrasive? Excuse me, but you're only
    freakin' bombing half the world and planning to bomb the
    other half!

    Maybe we should look at his posts and google and see what
    the ratio is between on--topic and off-topic posts.

    You do that.

    Go right ahead.

    good lord. i hope he doesn't. any controls he may chose to
    do will undoubtedly reveal that there's nothing out of the
    ordinary about your posting patterns.

    pot, kettle, black for most of us.

    i've always seen the large amount of off-topic posts as a
    good sign. there is some amount of a sense of community.
    and, if ya don't like it it's not like it's hard to avoid.

    my Big Gay Bike was my hot pink and black MBK mixte 3-speed
    with moustache 'bars. This was my daily transport in London.

    I'll get a photo of Bekah up soon.

    Seriousy, has anyone ever seen a picture of him with a bike

    Not on a bike, but he was recently spotted having lunch
    with Fabrizzio, who at least knows enough to take off his
    cap indoors:

    Surely, Luigi, you aren't going to leave that without at
    least a minimal explanation...

    Which reminds me, I wonder if I can find me a cheap
    Michelin jersey.

    Y'know, because I identify with the Man, really. Or at least
    my bike does.

    -Luigi because so much is riding on my tires....

    You don't all the time, but your doing so selectively in
    r.b.m only pushes you towards troll status.

    As far as I am aware, I have Agent set up so that every post
    I make is x-no-archived. If they aren't, please tell me,
    because then the software has a bug I'd like to report.

    I think this is a web page devoted to his fixed gear
    bike: home.sport.rr.comfixie These
    photos display a certain affection for the beauty of
    Bianchi metal that seems unlikely to occur in someone
    who's just faking interest in bicycling to troll
    newsgroups.

    See, if he were a real man of the people he'd have a
    beater Schwinn fixed gear:

    home.kc.rr.comfixie.jpg


    Two fixed gear fans. This suggests you and Kevan might find
    common ground if you discussed the right topics. . . . . . .
    Or, maybe it's the left topics for Kevan. 😉

    Funny enough, I ride pretty regularly with two USAF people.
    One loads bombs onto B52s, the other flies them to Iraq to
    drop them. We just don't discuss their unfortunate choice
    of careers.

    You go back several years. Sopme of the Kevans Smiths
    are me before I started x-no-archiving. Others are
    different people.
