Tom needs to take some time off and relax. Maybe see a movie. Here's one he would be sure to like:

While I enjoy your off beat sense of humour, and while you often do miss the mark on your first pass
at things, I wasn't defending you. I finally just didn't say "Why bother?" when my fingers flew to
the keyboard in response to one of Egberts highly annoying, self important, un-invited, irrelevant,
ego boosting, "hey look at me" snide little smarter-than-thou corrections, after the myriad of
examples of same in the past.

hmmmm...good point, but irrelevant, unless you do this intentionally to invite one of Egberts
exercises in self agrandizement. If that's the case, then I have seen the enemy, and he is thee. I
can't even chuckle and think "Poor nerd" anymore when I see his posts...

I do not have a living room. I have a combination bathroom/junk storage room, a combination
bedroom/junk storage room, and a combination HPV storage/kitchen/junk storage room (uses listed in
order of importance). I also have a small tire storage/junk storage closet that is only accessible
from the patio.

Some people would consider pointing out that a post is "highly annoying, self important, un-invited,
irrelevant, ego boosting, "hey look at me" and snide little smarter-than-thou" is even more highly
annoying, self important, un-invited, irrelevant, ego boosting, "hey look at me" and snide little
smarter-than-thou than the original post. 😉

As for my motivation, you (who?) are way off the mark.

Don't you (name?) have something better to get worked up about than my posts to a.r.b.r.? It is a
good thing Jobst Brandt doesn't post here. 😉

I heard that recumbents will fall over at the first hill and thus you should only buy them if you
live in Holland or someplace similarly flat and _never_ go touring on them. (based on overtaking one
BikeE or ReBike or something similar uphill)

Seriously I don't see what the big deal is. If people don't like your footnotes and whatnot they can
just killfile. Problem solved.

Regards Mikael

ok, see... that was funny, Your words (this time) weren't designed to (or were not apt to ) belittle
a remark made in innocent ignorance. They were spot on relevant, and in the spirit of the original
post. Good job.

I, for one, am sick and tired of being told that the decent people on this list are sick and tired
of being told that they are sick and tired.

Quite frankly, this post is just sickening.

And tiring too.

Having been sick AND tired now for far too long, I take offense at this redundant use and
**EXAGERRATED** overuse of "sick and tired".

rorschandt a box of kleenex a day,& considering Euthanasia over Echinacea. Or is that Youth in Asia?
