top posting is only appropriate when there is no need to quote any other
part of the thread. Often the top poster is too damn lazy to edit thier
post, or fix their newsreader.

Take out the word "Often" and capitalize "The" and you're spot-on!

Before this completely devolved into a discussion of top posting, a few
people posted comments akin to "lots of places have bunches of 'em...". In
my experience anything over 20mm is rare to nonexistent... As a result, I'm
running two different custom spacers on a couple of bikes; one was made by
Skip Hujsak, another by Gene Spicer. I imagine Gene would make one for a
reasonable price. He can be contacted from the contact link off of
