We could seriously reduce the idiotic Lance questions by creating such a spinoff. Those who wish
to lurk and answer the idiotic questions can do so off of this group.

in contrast, the already existing rec.bicycles.soc gets only 4 posts per day and I think a Lance
group would easily beat that in numbers. Anyone know the proceedure for requesting the creation of
such a group?

I am sure that would make Lance proud 😉

Dumb idea. In a year or two the volume of posts would drop to nothing.

Why? alt.politics.bush will die one day too but look at how much it is used today

I think it's a good idea to have a rec.bicycles.racing.armstrong to weed his posts out of this
group. They have become too much, IMO. Some in this group really need a blow-up Lance Armstrong doll
with a hole in the ass so they can fulfill their fantasies.

ok, thats just nasty, dont bring your own fantasies up online, please.

YES! YES! PLEASE GOD YES! But these dumbass Lance buttlickers would still post their stupid questions to this group just because they're idiots.
Now, if we could only create a group called rec.bicycles.bagels, that would be cool.

The rec.bicycles.* groups are not "a website" or even a series of websites. They are USENET
newsgroups.

Go away, and come back when you can tell us what the difference is between the Internet, DARPAnet,
ARPAnet, and the World Wide Web.

I am amazed at the number of them floating around. Usually we aren't this

I saw a custom Rivendell about two months ago. Joe was rebuilding it after a tube failure/repair.
You don't want a Rivewndell. I'll explain over pints.

Own one of the former, and used to own three of the latter.

ok, now that im back, after your terms, and also, the clarify what i did, i was using the term
"site" and "website" in a general form. it basically meant anything you access this information
from, whichever source it is. all i was saying is that if they dont want to see the information
about armstrong, dont go to a place to see it, thats all you have to do.

Argument granted, more or less. My guess is you'd have to avoid most Entertainment, Society,
Sports, Music, Economic, Advertising, Cycling, and gossip sites to avoid "Lance and/or Sheryl"
news. Your still a [censored] Fred, maybe even more so now that you've proved your a computer fred.
Probably a damn software type too. "It's always a software problem even if a current spike caused
it, it's not our fault your [censored] wont run". Bill C

Defining them is not explaining the difference between them ...

I'm still waiting for that.

This group has NO TRAFFIC. Take away the posts about Lance and you have nothing but posts about
motorcycles and drugs.

bah, i dont give half a sheeat to define the difference between them, yeah, theyre just definitions, i got them off www.dictionary.com, but its just cause i dont give a [censored], i was making a point that if its that bigga deal, anyone can find out what each of those things are, and i dont know the difference, nor do i care, because they dont affect me AT ALL, they all work and get me the info i want, how i want it, when i want it, so im not concerned with finding out the difference.

yeah, the sheryl crow thing sure does mess things up, didnt really consider that, so yeah, you have a valid point, that messes things up. but you have to admit, coming onto a cycling SOMETHING (ill let steve put in the proper word there, since i dont know it...) and hoping to not hear about lance, thats a pretty hard hope to have... ya know?

anyways, how bout i give up my defense, say im sorry, and drop it?

Don't get me wrong. I like Lance. He seems like a nice guy, but a few people on here really have too
many bad feelings towards him. They need a release or something and a special forum just for these
discussions seems like a great way to calm the fires to me.

Dear HowdieDoodie16,

Just a friendly piece of advice... Before jumping into a NG and disrespecting a poster, you should
take a minute to find out who you're talking to. Let me help: pedalchick is an accomplished cyclist
who's done big-time racing around the country that you can only hope to do someday. Maybe after your
Univ. of Fla. career is over.

BTW, when a lady screams "YES, YES,...YES" you should not respond by saying "just leave, and dont
let the door hit your ass".

You're welcome,

Mark
