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!
