The Time for Newbies to Post

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in a news group.

July is the wrong time - wading through interesting TdF commentary is

In the off-season, activity is low. A newbie question may actually be welcome.

Unfortunately, the newbie hordes only show up in July, like a suffocating swarm of brown locusts
on RBR's verdant, green, dung-fertilized fields.

Way to go Kurgan, you used over 50 words without typing dumbass!! In a few years you might actually
improve enough to carry on an intelligent conversation.

During the TdF and Classics season, yes.

500 posts/day and 400 of them are from newbies. Ask your newbie questions in the winter when there
is no on-the-boil racing to discuss.

Is there any sport or activity that the experienced players don't snub their noses at the one's
attempting to learn? You walk into any golf course clubhouse, ski chalet, tennis facility, or
gymnasium and it is inevitable you will run into somebody who thinks that just because they are
dressed appropriately and have spent too much time and money on their sport, they are somehow
superior beings. There is nothing more satisfying then seeing these guys or gals get their asses
kicked. I am a newbie to this NG and the TdF and have picked up alot of useful information and
interesting tidbits. It would be great if those that are looking for answers could post them and
those with answers would reply without sarcasm and disdain.

Yeah, they're in every sport. However, it's been my experience that the people who really are the
best don't behave this way. It's the guys that are good but not among the best that are usually the
biggest [censored]. They are insecure about being losers so they dump on other people to make
themselves feel superior. It's sad and pathetic.

What's wrong with newbie questions? There are people out there who gains knowledge in the cycling
through asking questions. Are new cyclists not welcome to post here?

Dumbass Newb -

In July we sometimes get 100 posts in a single hour.

In December, some days we may only get 20 posts.

Great for you perhaps, but far less entertaining for me.

I was following the TdF when Meryx was winning. Were you? Hang on to your precious newsgroup. It
sounds like it is the only thing going on in your life.

Take your training wheels off and go for a ride.

There are insecure people everywhere that feel the need to appear intelligent by being offensive and
condescending. The gravitate to the internet because they won't get their asses kicked when they
insult others. As someone (attributed to Larry Wall) once said:

The social dynamics of the net are a direct consequence of the fact that nobody has yet
developed a Remote Strangulation Protocol.

Not Merckx, but Hinault. I'm not gray enough for Merckx.

Dumbass -

why would you try to come into a group as a newbie and try to establish etiquitte?

You don't have any idea of the ebb and flow of this group. At hundreds posts/day, we don't need
newbie posts cluttering up the works in July or during the Cobbled Classics Week.

Newbs should ask their newb questions in the winter when things are slow.

Speaking of training wheels - metaphorically yours aren't off yet and you've already fallen over.

I can sum it up a little more succinctly. The truly fast guys are some of the nicest people you'll
meet. Its the ones that THINK they're fast that are the [censored]. Works for rich people too...

I'm not nearly fast enough to be an ass, even if I wasn't a Masters Fattie!

Actually, no.

I can't speak for others, but I do it because it's fun.

Jesus - and you're not over it yet? More power to you I guess. Have you seen a significant decline
in newby postings since you took on this most pressing issue? Perhaps there are more productive
outlets for your angH^H^H^H enthusiasm.
