A Friendly Place...

[John the Monkey]

Seinfeld reference... dimly remembered but I think Elaine had asked Susan out for a meal and George's friends were getting too close to his girlfriend for comfort. Cue George yelling, "Worlds are colliding, Jerry, worlds are COLLIDING!"

Indeed - his thesis was that there was a "relationship" George, and an "independent" George ("Fun George, bawdy George..."). It's a corker of an episode that, might have to dig the DVd out.

Ah, right, I understand.
Never watched Seinfeld, but I agree with the idea.

I havent noticed any changes except changes for the good. I think this forum is probably the most friendly there is. I don't go into soapbox very much. I fnd this place to be extremely supportive and it has helped me keep going on many occassions. I dont go to Bike radar or afc or any other cycling forum, why should I, all I need is here.

You spilt my pint

RAAAARGH!!!! I type with venom!

Hrrmph

 

[Andy in Sig]

Oi Tete!

Have you had a look at this and taken on board all the encouraging replies?

 

[Kirstie]

Au contraire I've just begun to look at the forum in a different light and I can see where Tete is coming from I'd not really noticed it until now.

So we're losing you, too, Kirstie!
Where are you and Tete eloping to?

I've still not noticed it.

I'm afraid to look now, lest all my illusions be shatter'd!

It comes down to four simple words....Don't Go Into Soapbox.

I consider myself to be a cyclist, unassuming, openminded, and intelligent enough to be able to argue or accept a point without resorting to insults (mostly). Just doesn't feel like that fits in here as much as, say, a few months ago.

I don't think the place was ever any different - it's heavily infested with pedants who prefer scoring points to shooting the breeze or offering much in the way of useful advice on cycling.

Is there any more than a handful of people who even KNOW much about cycling?

Soapbox appears to have gone "retro" private

I can only see threads I started...

I take your point. Every time someone starts one of those 'how many miles do you cycle' threads it surprises me how infrequently many forumers even sit astride a bike!! As to the technical section - I dare say many regular contributors to cafe and soapbox don't even know we have one!

So could I until I read the Soapbox announcement at the top. I've now joined soapboxgroup.

I can't open the announcemnet as I do not have permission. Think I'll not bother anyway.
