No arguments there; but I've long since given up trying to avoid results in
RBR ... Palachik, the TURD-ina, and others in the Philly crew have done
wonders in destroying this newsgroup.

So now we can just be childish here, and go to cyclingnews.com for the real
substance ...

So this newsgroup is destroyed, eh? Funny, seems to works just fine to me,
but then I only live about 2 hours north of Philly.

That's because you've only been here since 1999, when most of the best
denizens of the group had already long since left, like Steve Bak and Bruce
Hildenbrand and Steven Perryman and so on and so forth.

At this point I think Tyler Hamilton can be regarded as a strong
contender. In order for Tyler to win both Armstrong & Ullrich would
both have to off form. I think this is very unlikely. Another factor
is that Tyler has not won a tdf stage yet.

Not quite -- I've only had this ISP since 1999, but was around before
that though more of a lurker then. I don't remember Bak, but I do
remember the other two. And as I recall, Bruce Hildenbrand left in a huff
because Andrew "Not At" Albright had the audacity to challenge what he
was saying. Ok, so Andrew wasn't particularly polite or subtle, but to
me, Hildenbrand came off as a boob in the end because when he couldn't
persuade Andrew to worship him as a god of cycling insights he took his
toys and went away. Boo hoo.

Since both of those long links wrapped I only bothered to reconstruct
this one. Does this mean you think the NG is destroyed because now you
have to go to Cyclingnews.com to read a live race report or a recap?

Of course, while lamenting the loss of a few posters from "the good old
days", you neglect to mention those that have stuck around as well as
others who have joined. Except for a dramatic exit like Hildenbrand's,
folks can leave simply out of boredom, having better things to do or
getting finger cancer, but go ahead and blame it on the evil Philly crew
if that makes you happy. Still, it seems really silly to complain about
the NG being "destroyed" -- after all, it can't be so bad if you're still
here, eh?

Dude,

Tough-talking "Learn it. Live it. Love it," and then disclaiming
responsibility and blaming the "Philly crew" for destroying RBR, is
not exactly staking out the moral high ground. Be a jerk, or a
nice guy, but please not a jerk who wants to be a nice guy.

RBR has changed in part because we now get daily and even live
reports from cyclingnews.com, velonews.com and yes even OLN-TV.
Not to mention rider interviews and other such. Steve Bak's
race reports, though unmatched for eloquence, are not the sole
source of information they once were. BTW, Perryman still
shows up around the TdF each year, if only to troll people
into arguments about Marino Lejarreta.

wannabe jerk

Yeah, but he did that with a broken collar bone, so it doesn't count.
let's see him win one healthy.

All I really have to avoid is rbr and any cycling friends that aren't
avoiding me!

Seriously, most people who know you have it taped won't spoil it. That
leaves rbr. It would seem that people would just start a thread that said
'stage whatever results' and leave it at that. As it is, I just quit
reading.

Hey Fellow posters

I'm probably being a little pedantic here but can't you become members
and stop posting all those damned quotes with the funny marks. Its very
easy you know doesn't cost a penny.

You may like trolling through all the dross and rubbish e-mails and
thing and then find that you've only posted an extra short sentence or
even a word.

Thanks

Why don't you just have a look around and see beyond f*cking (do they have
filtering?) cyclingforumsdotcom, I hate them hate them hate them, and then
realize they are no more than an ugly web-interface to the much longer
existing (like, before the web dude) usenet newsgroups. This is a different
text-based protocol, the web alone is not the internet. Have a look through
the archives (on the web) at http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
Be sure to fill in rec.bicycles.* as the group. Download a newsreader, for
example the one from www.forteinc.com or www.texturizer.net/thunderbird, or
you may already have one on your computer (for Outlook Express, first
download OE-QuoteFix). Get a news account, most often included in your
access account with servername news.yourisp.com, or get one for free at
www.individual.net.

Stupid cyclingforumsdotcom.
