Here is Peter Clinch of Dundee, Scotland, the dumbest ******* ever to infect
these honorable cycling newsgroups, once again pontificating on the subject
of helmets - as if anyone gives a good god damn what he thinks about it. But
all you will ever have to know about Peter Clinch you can garner from his
freaking signature, the most stupid one Usenet has ever been saddled with.

Blowing your own horn like this on Usenet is inexcusable. Ed Dolan the Great
(He is also a Great Saint known far and wide as Saint Edward the Great)
sets the standard for how you should compose your signature. Yea, ever
modest and humble, yet noble and distinguished - his signature is one for
the ages.
Regards,
Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota
