Cycling newsgroups need folks like Tom Sherman hanging around. He is an
expert not only on the trivia of bicycles, but also on the big things about
them. I suspect most of us rely on the manufacturers to get things right and
we more or less take our bikes as given to us by them. However, it does not
hurt to get input from real bike riders like Tom Sherman. Sometimes I think
the bike manufacturers have never in their lives actually ridden a bicycle.

Hey Ozark,

Where is the "0% Attitude" you advertise on your web-page?

Ozark should have indicated at this point that he had snipped the rest of my
paragraph. It is unfair and juvenile of him not to have done so.

Sherman and I have had the longest running most contentious dialogue in
Usenet history. But he has been fair to me and I to him, at least when we
are not just fooling around. Ozark should try to be fair himself.

Contention is the spice of life. Adults with educated minds thrive on
contention. When you are unfair you are being juvenile. It is like cheating
at a board game that has rules. It is an admission that you can't handle
adult matters. It must be awful to be juvenile all of your life!

That does not apply to contentious, passive aggressive assholes like
you, Tom. That means there's more good 'tude for actual human beings.

The person who calls themselves Ed Dolan is clearly of their meds or need
to be on some prescribed drugs....

I think Ozark must be confusing Tom Sherman with Ed Dolan the Great. Ed
Dolan the Great is contentious, aggressive (but not passive agressive) and
absolutely a grade A ******* to TOP POSTERS like Ozark. Please get your
characters right - and stop top posting you blockhead!

I would be worried if Ozark Bicycle was complementing me. :)

What is going on here? Ozark, the ignorant hillbilly from Rogers, Arkansas
did not top post like he usually does. Is it possible that he is capable of
taking instruction? Or rather has he been shamed into conduct becoming a
civilized human being.

I urge Ozark to give up his hillbilly ways. The minute you leave Rogers, you
will discover that hillbillies are anything but lovable figures. Nay, they
are universally feared and hated because of their extreme ignorance. Ozark
should attempt to emulate Tom Sherman and the Great Ed Dolan if he would
like to get along in the wider world of non-hillbillies.

Gnaw [1], Ed Dolan just likes to "bark on the Internet".

See <http://www.ozarkbicycleservice.com/>. Looks like a tune-up is in
order, lots of HTML "&quot" appearing in the text (using two different
browsers). The "100% Service, 0% Attitude" slogan also seems to have
disappeared.
