    I like the jersey, too. However, I have this thing that was "taught" to me
    by older cyclists when I started racing in the 1970s. National team
    jerseys, all championship jerseys and especially world championship jerseys
    are earned. Only the person who earned it should wear it. This was
    discussed at great length here a few years ago. Some will disagree, but
    that's my feeling.

    That said, it might be fun to see Tommy Fred Kunich wearing one.

    I have a slightly different take. Some of the money gets back to the program
    and that's a good thing. I'd never wear one for anything other than a solo
    ride, or with family, but then I don't buy pro team gear other than hats. We
    have a batch of Telekom stuff that isn't gear, or is signed, so that doesn't
    get worn to ride. I do have a jersey from a German club that I never
    technically belonged to, but that was another junior squad that Robert trained
    with, Klause coached and we rode with a bunch.

    For my money, the Venezuela Road jerseys were a real eyecatcher and credit to
    the designer

    If you buy one online they will spam you forever. There is
    nothing you can do to get them to stop.

    Why do you keep bringing this up? If I remember from the thread that you
    started a few weeks ago, many people purchase online from Performance and
    don't get spammed. I buy from them all the time and the only emails that I
    get are receipts for my purchases.

    Reading "Klause" triggered a memory. Does anyone know whatever became of
    Klement Capilar? Last I had heard was that he was living around Chicago.

    I see lots of guys out in full team kit (Mapei and Postal most
    frequently). It's always just one guy at a time. But this last weekend, I
    saw a group of 4 or 5 (ahem) Fat Masters out in full '98 era Cantina Tollo
    kit. What were they thinking?

    Lucky you.

    A number of years ago I bought something online from them. I
    got spammed and spammed and spammed and spammed. Each one
    came with directions for two methods to stop the spam. One
    was a standard 'replay with unsubscribe' or something like
    that, and one was a web accessed account setting. Neither
    worked. After many, many attempts I started emailing customer
    support to please stop the spam. I flushed a lot of time in
    this effort and eventually gave up. The total elapsed time
    was about a year. Then I gave up.

    Spam, spam, spam. A mail filter fixed the problem. Procmail
    rocks.

    Maybe they've stopped doing it. I sure hope so. But they
    caused me enough trouble that I won't take the chance. And
    wouldn't recommend anyone else take the chance. What really
    bugs me was the misrepresentation that there was a method
    to stop it when there wasn't. That misrepresentation cost
    me a lot of time and effort.

    You forget that Tom K. is a world champion and Olympian in _both_
    hammer-balancing and virtual RBR boxing. I know his modest demeanor
    makes it easy to overlook his athletic prowess, but it's true.
    Surely of all of us poseurs, he is the one best suited to wear
    this Olympic jersey. Were I to see him on the road, I would know
    that I was in the presence of greatness, that otherwise I might
    ignorantly overlook.

    Of course the real culprits behind spam are the simpering bureaucrats and
    lying, cheating, thieving politicians who permit it, uttering verbal dihorrea
    about ``Freedom os Speech'' and suchlike plattitudes as the reason for their
    Laissez-Faire attitude towards UCE.

    The real reason of course is that the politicians, all of whom would Steal
    Christ off the Cross and then Sneak back After Dark for the Nails, are
    beholden to the spammerz for much of the Lucrative Swill that goes into the
    Trough that they stick their Greedy Snouts and Trotters into.

    Spam isn't limited to the most annoying and persistent junk that you see in
    your mailbox if you don't whitelist. Governments and Major Corporations are
    prolific spammerz too.

    Case in point, use the Google directory (you will notice that Davey didn't say
    ``Search Engine''?) for almost anything these days and you will be exposed to
    spam more blatant and annoying than anything that might appear in your
    mailbox.

    Why do you think that the Google Corporation, when the stock markets open
    later today and the shares are offered to the suckerz for the first time, will
    have a value of 90 Billion US Dollarz?

    Dump Google, and others of its Ilk like Excites, Yahoo etc.

    Use AllTheWeb instead the same as Davey does and replace your browser's default
    search engine with AllTheWeb. Sheesh, if you don't know how to do this
    yourself, Davey coded up a great little Patch that works great under Linux on
    all the Nut$crape family of Browzerz.
