  1. Your delusional ranting has attracted the attention of some prominent
    cycling figure or another. He has extended an offer for you to examine
    certain of his hematocrit records which are currently in the hands of
    UCI anti-doping.

    "I would like to extend the offer to meet or contact Anne Gripper, head
    of UCI anti-doping, at my insistance. She has full capability of
    releasing my blood records during my racing time. If Mr Gorilla contacts
    me, I will set up a meeting with her - and I will give permission to
    access my records."

    "I would like to present Mr. Gorilla the tests, if he responds to me,
    with a real name."

    If you contact me via email, I'll put you in touch with him, whose name
    you may or may not have guessed by now.

    PS: No guarantees this isn't a ploy for him to get your real name so he
    can come to your hometown and kick your ass. Indeed, if I thought that
    was the motivation, I'd probably help him anyway. Not that I hold any
    grudge against you or think you deserve an ass-kicking, it's just that
    it would be really funny.

    There wasn't really an "Anne Gripper" and "[censored] Pound" working at the
    same organization at the same time was there? How on earth did they
    ever get any work done. Everyone would have had to have been snickering
    all the time at the though of Anne Gripper and [censored] Pound starting to
    date, then getting married, and hyphenating so it would be [censored]
    Pound-Gripper, or [censored] Gripper-Pound (and their daughter Ophelia).

    Anyway, if I send my real name and e-mail address, can I examine
    hematocrit records as well? After the above, [censored] and Anne are going to
    come tune me up anyway, how bad can one more beating be?

    [censored] worked for WADA. Anne works for the UCI. Close, but your hilarious
    fever-dreams don't seem to have worked out.

    It occurs to me that after impertinently writing that previous para, it
    could just as well be me that was plotting to kick Magilla's ass.

    Except, you know, I'm weak and have trouble fending off my 15-pound dog,
    and being a good Canadian boy, I don't even own a gun.

    I would like the Gorilla's address as well but just to boot his garden
    gnomes and heist his lawn orb.

    Well yeah, there is that risk. But my public promise here: I'm not
    doing this to "out" the ape. If Magilla contacts me, I will not
    disclose his name or email to anyone except Prominent Cycling Figure,
    and (if he turns out to be Zak-Paul Gosselaar or someone interesting
    like that). Well, I'm a bit of a blabbermouth, so I'd probably tell my
    clubmate Jak. He doesn't read this newsgroup.

    Also, I'm in the phone book, so I tend not to do stupid stuff online.
    Well, not super-stupid. Right now I'm taunting a crank in rbt, but
    it's starting to get sort of sad.

    I think that will take you into the relevant thread, which is called
    "Vortex Recumbent."

    Shortly after I join the conversation, I suggest the crank should
    build the wacky-races recumbent fairing he has conceived, and prove
    its (purported over-unity) benefits to all of us at the IHPVA trials.
    For my trouble, he calls me "Mister Crackpot" and accuses me of being
    in league with "fascistic science."

    It's great!

    And then, you know, he likens me to Nazis.

    You probably own a hockey stick. When the Gramercy Riffs close on the
    Rogues, some of the Riffs are carrying hockey sticks. Anyone can kill with
    a gun, but to slay a man with a hockey stick takes panache.

    Can't you bring global warming into the equation. That

    In that context, probably better to point out that coriolis will work to
    negate any aerodynamic advantage unless there are counter-rotating vanes.
    Of course, CR vanes are notoriously hard to use when counter-steering and
    they make you slow way down in corners on a banked track.

    D'oh. Sorry if it came off that way. I'm not suggesting that I either
    expect or hope for Magilla to get beat up; Indeed, I wish him well:
    he's funny! Sometimes.

    But I'm offering to pass on his name to a third party. I believe they
    have honorable intentions, but I've never met 'em 🙂.

    PS: Magilla, I won't beat you up. Promise.
