    Where else can we find perfection married to such modesty?

    A JB wheelset?

    A ZK political rant?

    A Jim Smith medical opinion?

    A Jim Beam metallurgical missive?

    A BP Houghton drool-cup?

    A Bill Baka fairy tale?

    OK, I'm done...

    I think you skipped "Bill Sornson sarcasm"...

    The correct Usenet word is "sarcams", but nice try.

    What we did to address this was to place a small cushion behind the
    child's back so that there was space between the helmet and back of the
    seat. It would be better if this cushion were made integral with the
    seat as potentially the loose cushion could slide out from behind their
    back and then the harness would be loose.
    Anyone at Burley or Trek listening?

    The newer Burley D'lite's supposedly have addressed this problem, but
    the cushion works good on the older ones.

    I normally just didn't have the child wear a helmet in the trailer. It's
    illegal, but I didn't see the need for it. The helmet fanatics may claim
    that a helmet is necessary even in a trailer, but with a trailer that
    has a harness ,and is difficult to turn over, I don’t see the need. I
    remember my sister-in-law using my trailer and her turning it on it’s
    side. Her kid was strapped in and was just sitting there sideways, held
    in by the harness, not crying.

    There is no way to say this without sounding snide, and I hope that I
    do not actually mean to be snide when I say: that's why I use an
    operating system other than Windows, have never owned a Windows
    computer and never will. Windows is not an operating system, it is a
    security risk.

    While I'm a user of Window XP, I'm certainly not a Microsoft
    apologist; but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks
    like a duck...

    As a former developer of operating systems, to me Windows XP displays
    all the symptoms. :-)

    Also, whatever OS Tim is using is also a security risk. Just not one
    currently targeted en masse by h@xor5.

    Not the wide open hopeless mess that Redmond's finest have foisted off
    on an unsuspecting public, with major security flaws in every
    application as well as the OS itself. Some of the applications have
    security flaws that are problematic even when their software is run in
    a non-Windows OS! The lame claim that Microsoft's market share is the
    reason it's targeted is [censored]- it's targeted because it's easy.

    My OS is not targeted mainly because it's far more secure and the
    warez kiddies aren't smart enough to figure it out (and the serious
    people have better things to do). There's an installed user base in
    the tens of millions.

    BTW there have been several thousand attempts made on my computer over
    the past four years that it's been serving Web pages. My firewall and
    NIDS track it all and thus far have provided complete security.
    However, putting it behind another router, which was done to share my
    Internet connection with my home LAN, seems to have stopped most of
    the attempts in their tracks as they are on closed ports that are not
    forwarded. The only attempts that get through now are on port 80, of
    course, as it's the only open port on the computer and the only NAT
    forwarded port through the router.

    Of course, this is always a moving target, and today's secure OS may
    be ripped wide open tomorrow.
