It is amazing how long some of those threads go. You get about 2 or 3 answers that sum it all up and then about 40 that say "me too".

I was thinking of replying..."You need a Merlin Agilis, Size 52 with a Selle Italia SLR saddle and Campy Centaur. It will fit perfectly."

And then you have the classic "Bitter Mountain Biker that Hates Roadies" troll:

Hey, you did! You guys are getting nasty now.

Best one about the 'roadies never wave' thread was 'maybe they just don't like me'....

we have on this subject!

Wasn't the bib thread about the 5011th time someone has posted something like that in the past week or so? I seem to see a bibs vs shorts thread about every other day. Sort of like campy vs shimano, whether to wear a helmet or not, iPod while riding, and of course, we just had the troll-o-matic meter go into high gear with the "roadies suck" thread that just popped up. General has become a recycled version of itself over and over again. And the "Racing" threads aren't much better. Seems as though they've had a rash of "what tires should I use?" "what wheels should I use" questions... Hey, dumais, use the ones on your bike, now get out there and ride. Of course, I can't help but reply to some of these, as I have to get my sarcasm out and into the open.

Funny thread. I don't come in here often, but found myself driven in by the "best bottle cage" thread. I couldn't take it anymore.

You mean I'm missing a bottle cage thread??? Damn!

Ditto the damn!! I knew I was missing too much by not doing the daily perusal....would a
free market socialist use high zoot carbon bottle cages or utilitarian stainless... gotta keep it P.O.
We are succumbing to the lofty elitism of are own little ivory tower, but dumb is stupid as dumb is dumb.

Well, it got pretty technical, what with the intricate detail about bottle cage frame materials.

Those fools! Worrying about bibs, cages and bike fit when the fate of the world as we know it is being decided here.

I replied to the bottle cage question. :o

I feel like such a dweeb.

Will I be drummed out the the non-cycling boards?

My contribution to that thread was going to be:

But I decided against it.... I learned way more about bottle cages than I ever thought there was to learn. ;)

Hey! That one was my thread! I thought it was a pretty good one don't you? I mean, that Rochelle Gilmore, if only she would spend more time in the USA, I'd have to find out where she was racing, and work some game in there.

I really did hope they didn't miss that one. Just trying to open their eyes that there is another forum worth checking out.

I was hoping that this wasn't lumped in there with the "Best Bottle Cage" or "How Much Bling" can I get on my bike threads.

This is one where they say how much better they are than the others around here.

What a bunch of snobs

I think you need to read a few more Campy vs Shimano and frame materials posts.

I don't think we're much better over here in PO. I know it!

OK, just kidding, but yeah, I think we can be judgmental about the same threads getting recycled over and over again. I personally think it's pretty damn funny. And or infuriating. If I responded to everything I wanted to, I'd be the flame master. So I cease and desist, and keep my fingers away from the keyboard for most stuff, as I think about it, because it's probably just some newbie asking the same old tired questions over and over again... It's painful at times.

Some of the threads just cry out to be made fun of...did you check out the "I wear arm warmers all the time" thread today?

I've posted several times on that one today. I couldn't help myself there.

I took heat on the "Cornstarch OK on tubes?" thread. It's taken months for my digital ego to recover.
I also made a promise to myself to never post on another chain lube or "best tire" thread. Sheesh, what a waste of ones and zeros...

It's someone else's turn to write a "HEY STOOPID! Use the search!!!!!" thread...

see mine for a poor example:
