If you really want a lot of responses to your posting, word it in the
most dangerously controversial manner possible.

If you REALLY want a lot of replies, a simple flame or troll post will
do (guaranteed 1,000+ minimum thread lengths)

On topic or useful posts will only get you ten or so replies at best
(unless someone posts an off topic, flame or troll reply, of course :-3)

Any highly controversial subjects will get lots of responses. Examples
of such are, not in any order, helmets, chain lubes, bad suv drivers,
recumbents versus diamond frames, and wheel building.

SUV collides with cyclist, bike's pedals puncture SUV's crankcase, but
do a really excellent job of lubing his chain.....

Haven't you heard? Gee-Dub is the new [censored].

Pretty lame excuse for an evil mastermind, too. I think he'd make a
better Carlos II.

That's an insult to those that suffer mandibular prognathism!

You'd hate it here, the Wally World parking lots are still full of un-
peanutbuttered W stickers. W is the new swastika, for sure.

"Democrats announce plans to enact mandatory bicycle helmet laws and to
greatly expand the nation's network of multi-use pathways. Republicans
respond with calls for tax breaks for people who purchase
diamond-studded bicycle frames."

Shouldn't there be an OT prefix in the Subject Line?

Hm. A paid author writes a piece for a conservative think tank, and
Bill knows all he needs to know.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

For me the real question is not wheter this is "OT" but:

"Whether Republicans could care less about environmental issues."
or
"Whether Republicans couldn't care less about environmental issues."

English is so difficult! What if such idiomatic expression were not
used for "all intensive purposes."

Fair point.

I'd assert that most Republicans COULD care less, just not a whole LOT
less, and I'm not really sure how, at that.

Hey, Jym almost posted coherently! Bravo! LOL

Leave it to Jym (sic) Dyer to add to an already superfluous thread with a
pathetic, oh-so-politically correct witticism. Nice vital contribution,

I didn't read the post you are referring to so I'm not taking a
position on it but in re: your reply-
"Paid author"? All authors get paid. People that write (anything,
political or not) without being paid are just Usenet users. <g>

P.S.- I include myself in the"non-author" class.

Neil's lying again. Said he plonked me, but just can't resist replying once
a month or so. Yet if I comment on something HE posts*, he goes ballistic.
(How's that Magic Flying Prus, Brooksie? LOL )

Besides, Bob, Neil is VERY sensitive about getting paid for things, so
please don't go there. Unless he finally became a professional blogger,
that is.

Whatever, Neil. Whatever.

BS (hip deep...still)

* I still have YOU plonked, Brooks. Why not keep your word and ignore me as
I do you?
