Using the search function I found a post by someone who said something along the line of "we should not be naive and we should assume that Disco was doing the same thing the other teams were." The admin then posted that he had PMed the poster the site was not for neutral discussion; it was a Disco fan site.

Thepaceline is quite uninteresting. I don't know if I can continue to monitor it.

So you go in there as the Superfan of Disco... and start a thread called "Other Forum Follies" and you say.. "Get a load of this guys" and you drop a Bro Deal quote in there from Cyclingforums and make fun of it and watch them all pile on. Just use rediculous logic like No Positives here. Spoof 'em.

Actually I see where you are coming from... its a waste of time if you can't get into an argument.

Landis is trying, but it's not going to break his way. I can just feel it. Besides, he can't do it seven times like me. __________________ Lance Armstrong’s Last Words, August 10, 2007 - “We're proud of our record. I tested positive six times at the 1999 Tour and still won," Armstrong said. “I’m not sure if there are many other teams who can say that right now. Couple that with our complete disregard for ethics, despite all the gossip and nonsense that goes on.”

I see Mo already had that idea. Mo... didn't you forget the positive on the corticosteroid? That makes seven I think.

Yeah... where is this "Cesspool" place in reality. Is it a bar somewhere? Sounds like a lot of fun goes on there.

There was something about the moderator being one of the worst of them.

The comments that follow the article are more interesting than the article itself.

Edited to add: Oops! The second link does discuss that!
