there's anything wrong with that.

in the post you replied to, your statement displays remarkable insight and cognition to be
admired.

There is obviously no question to anyone - you, me or any readers - that you are an [censored]. I wrote
that it is intentional.

I whack off to photos of myself every morning, afternoon and night.

BTW, I was wrong about the hh cult being alone.

LANCE has the biggest cult, rivaled only by the anti-LANCE cult.

Hmm. I thought you would know what a "cult of personality" is. Your "Kurgan" character is the only
true COP related to this NG, IMO, although in theory hh could qualify. Lance is a "sports hero".
People do not worship him for his character or personality (do they?).

COP?

Dumbass, I'm not into law enforcement. I just enjoy flaming people.

Seriously though, cult of personality?

I'm on this newsgroup for 10 reasons:

1) I like bike racing
2) I like flaming people
3) some of the people here know a lot about bike racing
4) some don't (those are the flame recipients)

I can't think of the other 6 reasons.

5) You like to flame people that may know about bike racing, but otherwise seem worthy (to you) of
your "attention" (flaming).
6) You have nothing better to do
7) You have a sleeping disorder
8) You have a personality disorder
9) In real life, you can't behave this way and get away with your skin
10) Some day, you may return to riding your bike regularly and you are trying to pick up tips from
the triathletes

That's too bad, since what he said to you was correct.

Actually it wasn't correct. Millar is not a GC contender in the Vuelta.

Score- Not So Dumbass Newbie 1, Group Troll 0

Uh, exactly. Millar isn't a GC contender so the "trade big time losses on GC for a shot at a stage
win" strategy is the right thing for him to do. Jalabert did this in the TdF in 2001 and 2002 to
great effect, and Virenque does this every year while hunting for the Polka Dot.

Parrot boy 1, you and son of a rat 0.

And Yo-Yo Botero in 15th stage 2002 Tdf. Amazing recovery and back into contention.

This obviously is a reason to resume the POTM elections.

Well, looks like Levi will have to change his strategy, try for KoM or stage win. Bummer for
Rabobank.

The mountains classification seems very unlikely for him, and he has never been very aggressive,
so I don't think he has a good chance of winning a stage either. If Leipheimer should focus his
strategy on anything, it should be on keeping his current job, or finding a new team (which is
probably difficult right now).

I think he'll be working to do what he can to minimize the pay cut for next season. From CN:
"We'll give him time until the Vuelta," said De Rooij. "And in case we make him an offer, it's
clear that it'll be lower now."

Maybe he'll follow in the footsteps of Kevin Livingston and join Bianchi, they seem to have
something to announce in the way of a signing.

i think this might be my favorite plotw. are you on some kind of mailing list, or do you just
have talent?

No, Henry, you are indeed among the worst of Usenet.

The groups wrecked by spam, bots, racism generally have topics so conducive to fluff/flames
that they're not well-suited to the Net in the first place. Poli-groups out of hand? --Not a
big surprise.

You, Henry, are a big part of making public bike race discussion---something that's a natural for
the Net---into something hardly anyone wants to do, most people prefering civility.

Thus, a large dishonor. You could never post from an ISP. You have to use hotmail. That would
bother any true Netizen, making you among the worst out there. But why bother distinguishing
amongst the trash.

Other similar/related newsgroups work pretty darn well, thank heavens.

That honor has to go to either the product spammers, spambot writers, or hate-filled racist trolls
found in some of the political newsgroups.
