A not so subtle hint that I myself might be better off on
another newsgroup? However, I have found a home here on ARBR
and let's face it, it does not matter if I am on topic or
off topic, my posts will arouse dissension no matter what.
Hate me if you must, but there is only one paramount sin
connected with newsgroups and that is to be boring. As long
as I am not interesting, then I am happy as a lark!

Good Grief! The last sentence should read: As long as I AM
interesting, then I am happy as a lark! I will never be able
to figure out how these little glitches get past me.

Too bad for Mr. Ed Dolan that he corrected himself, for it
means that he must be unhappy.

Every post of mine always gets some kind of response, even

Do you have a dictionary? If so, look up the word "Club".
Clue: it doesn't mean "shop".

When you've finished that, try actually clicking the link in
my .sig. Then you won't have to may any more assumptions on
what the British Human Power Club actually is.

When you've finished with that, and I appreciate it may take
you a while, you may care to go back and look for where I
said that the recumbent market is racers. I guarantee that
this will take you a /very/ long time, because I didn't say
it. What I /did/ say was that you should be a little less
dismissive of the racers, as the first generation of
recumbent manufacturers, without whom there would quite
possibly be NO market at all, were racers to a man. If names
such as Gardner Martin, Tim Brummer, Mike Burrows, Peter
Ross, John and Miles Kingsbury or Bram Moens mean nothing to
you, then you are even more clue-free than I thought.

Dave,

Mr. Ed (Thanks Tom!) will not only find a way to justify
what he said, he will also show you how wrong you are.

He doesn't have a clue!

Club, shop, who cares? You are both connected to the bicycle
industry and should therefore know what you are talking
about. How come you don't?

I don't give a tinker's damn about your miserable little
club. All I know for sure is that you ought to be calling
yourself a bicycle club and not something called human
power. How pretentious and ridiculous!

But I am totally dismissive of racers and I cast doubt on
your integrity for even mentioning the subject of racers in
connection with the recumbent market. All those names you
mention I know from over 10 years a reading RCN and I don't
give a hoot about any of them. Most folks who get recumbents
get them for comfort and not in order to be fast on them.
But types like you think the only way you can sell them is
to tell everyone how fast they are. Even that they climb
hills like magic! You and your ilk are constantly misleading
everyone by your emphasis on speed when everyone knows that
most people get recumbents for comfort, not speed. You are
the clueless one here, not me.

While we are at it, why the hell aren't you posting
properly? You did not include my post to which you are
responding. How the hell is anyone except me suppose to know
what you are talking about. This right here tells me that
you are a royal screw up (English variety) of major
proportions and that you can't get anything right, not even
the simplest things. God help the readers of your so called
newsletter!

The brainless ones, Sherman and Butler, unite and are
unanimous in their stupidity. They can only appeal to the
most juvenile sophomoric humor. But that is ARBR for you.
Lots of those types here.

Actually, everyone except you knows what Dave is
talking about.

You don't have a clue!

The British Human Power Club (BHPC) is a national affiliate
of the International Human Powered Vehicle Association
(IHPVA). Both organizations included human powered boats,
submarines, aircraft, etc. Therefore, having "Human Power"
in the name is neither pretentious nor ridiculous, but
perfectly logical.

My apologies for bringing logic into this for the logically
challenged.

Perry B, you posted correctly in as much as you included a
part of my previous post to which you are responding and
also in as much as you bottom posted. I know that Mr.
Larrington knows how to post, but he is taking short cuts
which cannot be justified. Not everyone who is following a
subject thread is necessarily reading it from beginning to
end like you and I are. Therefore, every single separate
post has got to make sense on its own. Frankly, I am losing
all patience with those who do not post properly when I know
they know better. Please note that your idol Mr. Sherman
posts correctly even when he is being nasty to me. I respect
that and I try to do the same myself. I want to be fair to
my correspondents, no matter how much I might hate them.

Nonsense, we all know that bicycles constitutes the vast
majority (99%) of what is being human powered and those
other items you mention are negligible to nonexistent. You
and all those others who blather about HPV are absurd and
nothing but pretentious and arrogant snobs. A pox on the
lot of you!

My logic as always is impeccable. But what good is logic
when you do no have one ounce of common sense. That is your
main problem as well as I can divine what your problems may
be. Logic is wasted on you because you are not grounded
properly in common sense.

It's "tinker's dam" not "damn" by the way.

Dams are the small amounts of solder used to repair
pewter ware.

Also:
: If someone doesn't give a tinker's dam (or cuss) the they
: are reckoned
to be completely indifferent to the outcome of an event. Dam
(note the lack of a terminal "n") is used today to describe
a structure for holding back water; so it was in the days of
Tinkers. They used to travel the country earning their
livings mending pots and pans and sharpening knives. They
would mend the pots by filling the leak on the inside with
some clay and then repairing the outside with permanent
material. When this was done the clay was discarded. The
clay stopper was the tinker's dam. The dam was also known as
a cuss. Both were worthless, hence the saying.

Further research indicates both "damn" and "dam" in early
usage. I've learned something today.

My apologies and thanks to you, Ed.
