Once in a great while I look it up. It doesn't seem to be filled with
the kind of crunchy whole-grain content I prefer, so it pales pretty
quickly after a day or two. Plus, I'm just not that interested in
racing.

Is it still run by the same clique of ex- and wanna-be racers who ostracize
anyone who doesn't know the "secret handshake"?

I usually go there daily, but am also getting tired of all the Landis
and drug posts. All that negative stuff can get old after a while. I
usually spend more time here or at rec.bicycles.tech.

I read it several times a day....it's got real boring on the Flandis stuff,
though. Why?

No new news.

I browse over there. Taken with a grain of salt (it IS a newsgroup after
all) there are some interesting discussions over there.

Some of those guys seems to be awfully knowledgeable about drug testing and
drug regimens. It's possible some of them are all b.s. -- it would be hard
for me to know the difference.
