Hello Everyone,

Here's another quote that again came from A Word Per Day:

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the
future of the human race. -H.G. Wells, writer (1866-1946)

I don't know if the person who runs the site loves bikes or if it's
just a coincidence, but that's two bike quotes in two weeks. The
owner of the site is either Indian or Pakistani, for whatever that's
worth.

Joe,

I don't go to B.R.O.L. often (Even less often than here, but that may
change in the future.), but I stopped over there today, Wednesday, and
saw a thread about bike quotes and it linked to the same site you
recommended. I don't know if the B.R.O.L. thread is a transplanted
thread from here, but it doesn't matter either way. Thanks for the
link here as well. I'm not really looking for bike quotes, they just
showed up a few times on A Word Per Day and I posted them here.

You're an old-timer on this n.g. as well and I remember when this was
one of the busiest on the web. Not any more. Yes, I'm aware of why
and don't want to get things started. But things sure have changed.
The web is a great experiment in freedoms and anonymity, and so far
the old-fashioned values are losing out to the adolescents of both
mind and body. It's great when Larry posts on B.R.O.L. and his
picture is right there. I think if a photo was mandatory, the web
would be a much more agreeable place.

This newsgroup was a cesspool before I showed up. It was full of nothing but
the crudest jokes and most hateful slanders about Bush and the Republicans.
No doubt you never noticed it much because you agreed with the liberal trash
posting that was going on here. But others of us took offense and did not
see why such calumny should go unchallenged. Things have changed now greatly
for the better and the newsgroup is a much improved over what it was back
when you and your ilk had your way with it.

By the way, I have used my real name from day one (unlike many others here)
and have no desire to hide behind any kind of anonymity. The photo
requirement you suggest is asinine and would be just plain stupid. There is
no real anonymity on the Internet as we all have email addresses and
Internet Service Providers with which we maintain those addresses.

If you are happy on BROL, then stay there. How much recumbent information do
you want anyway? One newsgroup is enough for anyone. All this shuttling back
and forth between ARBR and BROL strikes me as crazy. Find your newsgroup and
then stay with it for heaven's sake!
