Acting like "just some guy" who "just happened to stumble" on the website
when in fact he owns it is dishonest. Period.

I can't believe I agree completely with Sorni about something, but I
do.

That is the wonder that is Usenet. You guys get to hold hands and
sing Kumbaya, _and_ we deliver a [censored]-storm of on-point criticism to
someone who probably never saw it coming. 🙂

Generally, the feedback on such an activity (Wow! Look what I just
found!) outside Usenet would be in dribs and drabs and not
particularly constructive. The perp...sorry...the alleged perp would
probably not learn from the experience. Enter Usenet where spankings
are everyday occurrences, and a broad sampling of
misfits...sorry...posters would weigh in with their opinions.

The OPerp (trademarked, sorry) seems a good-natured sort, and I'm
willing to discount his transgression as an abundance of youthful
exuberance.*

Thanks for the link. I like seeing nice jersey designs.

So what if you sucked me in. I'm not buying one anyway. Neither would
have most of the complainers bought one so there's no harm done.
Several regular posters tout their web sites without being derided as
spammers.

The regular posters are regular guys and behave in regular ways - for
the most part! 😉 They don't resort to schizophrenic third person
chicanery. It might seem like a fine difference to some, but it's
not.

The odd thing is the guy actually does have some nice stuff. For the
life of me I can't figure out why he'd feel it was necessary to blow
smoke up people's asses to sell it.

Over the years I've met some number of salesmen who just do stupid [censored] like
that. They'll have a perfectly legitimate, if humble company with decent
products and some reasonable hope of expansion - then exaggerate to the point of
discrediting what they've really got. Or this bogus testimonial / sock puppet
thing - I don't get it. Why lie when the truth is available and perfectly
suitable to your intentions.

Oh well.

There's a current thread in the construction groups where a
manufacturer makes a totally outrageous claim - that their plastic
product that allows grass to be driven on (think honeycomb) can
support 97,000 pounds per square foot, or 1.2 fully loaded semi-
tractor trailers on every square foot. I find such claims insulting.

Send him the link. See if bites.

Don't worry, Fabrizio is still out there. He's always just up ahead -
around the next bend or just over the crest of the hill. Fabs is forever
out in the lead on a long solo breakaway.

Most people don't believe that Fabs exists. But he's there. He's up
ahead of you - just out sight. And all you need to do to catch a glimpse
of him is to ride harder - harder than you've ever ridden before! You
might be able to see him, but don't fool yourself into ever believing
that you can catch him.

Don't worry, he's out there...

Anyone can custom-order jerseys from caanari with their own designs.
Even if you order a lot, i think you have to charge $75/ea to get some
kind of decent markup (like 35%). caanari is the biggest winner in
all of this ...

It reminded me (in a good way) of that seminal work by Mr. Cousineau:

I love how bikereader fronts like they don't know. "We are not familiar
with the Fabrizio in question." yeah, RIGHT.
