Sad to say but I have finally found these posts amusing as long as they are
not too lengthy. Now that I have accepted this group for what it is I can
take small pleasures in it and have abandoned my former frustration.
Don't know how many may agree but if you do we might want to consider a more
suitable name that represents our subject matter.
I won't pretend to be creative enough to suggest a name but invite others to
do so.
In the unlikely event that an off-topic post about recumbents arises we
shall just have to tolerate them.
Happy (insert preferred politically correct text here) to you all.

Lorenzo,
So am I misinterpreting this post, or have you changed your mind? See
<http://groups.google.com/group/alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent/msg/c3fdee18abf341da?dmode=source >.
As for the $4,600 price, that is more than I paid for an almost new
Dragonflyer AND a disc brake equipped Sunset Lowracer in very good
condition.

I should have said I have nothing against the Bigha bike. The people who
own the company obviously can not be trusted. Even if you could get one in
the fair price range of $1500 to $2000, you would have to plan on it
becoming a orphan just like their last bike.

There was no casue for you to refer to me aA Jimmy Oil, but I will
overlook that. Your point is well taken and apparenly Tom feels
likewise ... we agree on something at last.
Quite some time back, I requested that Tom accept an agree to diasgree
truce so that we could just let this go and move on, but my reasonable
suggestion was rejected sevral times. At this juncture, it is
reasonable to assume that the readership has grown weary of this
debate. All that was in need of being said has likely already been
said several times over. I agree with you. The debate must cease.
I'm done ... debate concluded.

Request granted. I will cease debating the authorship of the HRS blog
with Mr. McNaa, since pretty much everything that could reasonably
be said has been said. If Mr. McNaa wished to continue, that is his
option.

I wonder if one is allowed to bring one's bicycle into the Bath guest
houses. Of course, taking a vacation in Bath has always been the
preserve of the English upper class which allows for a certain degree
of eccentricity.

As a private company BigHa has no obligation to release sales figures,
so unless a worker in the BigHa sales or shipping department wishes to
reveal confidential business information (possibly illegal, and likely
grounds for termination) we will not know.
It would be interesting to know how many people will spend that amount
of money on a heavy, not so fast "luxury" bicycle. A bike such as the
HP Velotechnik Sprit [1] would appear to have similar ride and
performance to the BigHa, for approximately one-half (1/2) the price
when equipped with disc brakes and a generator hub powered lighting.
L.L.L. appeared to have a dislike of BigHa due to the way BikeE went
out of business, with many of the former BikeE principals turning up at
BigHa. (See also the legal battle between BigHa and former BikeE
supplier Giant.)

I have nothing against Bigha, it looks like a good $1500 bike. I just
wonder who would be nuts enough to pay $4600 for one.

So, would you pay $3,900.00 to $4,600.00 [1] for a BigHa? ;)
BIGHA also stands for "Bath Independent Guest House Association" [2].

Yes, I knew exactly what Mr. Sherman was doing and so that is why I stayed
out of it. He had obviously adopted the Lorenzo L. Love tactic of harping on
a single point and since it was a fairly good point and was hard to refute,
it more or less worked.
But no one does better than Mr. Love what he does. I think he drove poor Mr.
Varney crazy. That entire thread is a classic and worth reviewing in order
to learn something about tactics and humor. Somehow it never got to be
tedious like Mr. Sherman's effort.
What Mr. Sherman should have done of course is to have severely edited those
posts on the HRS blogs. If he had done that it is possible that the thread
would also have become a classic instead of being merely tedious. Brevity is
the soul of wit.

I guess getting one of the second examples for this price would be a

LL was pretty determined to disparage the BigHa, I always thought that
if he were truly looking for one of thier customers that this was the

It is probably time to put the HRS blog authorship discussion to rest,

In re-reading that old post from 2004 I am stuck by how much meaner and
nastier I have become. Poor Beth would not have a chance against me today. I
attribute all my meanness and nastiness to having to deal with rogues and
scoundrels like Mr. Sherman.
In any event, whether I am pleasant or not so pleasant, women do not hang
around long when the Great Ed Dolan is on the scene. I think they want and
expect me to defer to them whereas I do not see any reason to defer to them
except on their own ground of proper feminine concerns, like taking care of
children, cooking meals and going to church. Everyone in the world knows
what women are good for and they ought to stick to that. I am afraid I have
the effect of intimidating women with my penetrating intellect and
directness of speech.
Nevertheless, this group could use some womanly input. I fear we are
becoming too coarse and vulgar without their soft touch. It seems all we are
doing lately is cussing and swearing at one another. Women would make us
ashamed of this typical masculine behavior and we could perhaps become
better than we would otherwise be.
We do not want coarse and vulgar women to come to ARBR of course. The women
who come to ARBR should be of the caliber of Our Blessed Lady, the Virgin
y. The Great Ed Dolan will know how to behave when in the presence of
wise and saintly ladies.
The Great Ed Dolan only goes berserk when confronted by coarse and vulgar
women, just about the only kind we have ever had here on ARBR as far as I
can recall. Beth was only so-so in this way as I remember her, not bad but
not good either.

Jim needs to consider a name change for himself. We already have a Jim here
on ARBR. Could you not perhaps come up with a better user name. It gets to
be very confusing when we have too many Jims here.
Note my example. No one else has the name of Ed Dolan. I am also known as
the Great Ed Dolan and as Saint Edward the Great of the Order of the
Perpetual Sorrows of Minnesota. Do not try to get into this Order as it is
very exclusive. I am the one and only member of the Order. That is because
no one else has ever come up to my high standards of holiness. You have to
be celibate which lets out everyone, most particularly Mr. Sherman.
See how easy it is to have a unique name by which others can identify you.
Just plain old Jim will not do it. It is just way too common. It is as
common as mud in fact and we here on ARBR insist on names that stand out.
Please, try to show some imagination, why don't you?
Whenever I see the name Jim in print I think of Jimmy Carter. Why the hell
he did not want to be called James I will never know. Can you imagine anyone
calling me Eddie (besides Tom Sherman of course). God, I want to puke at all
these childish names.
I propose that Tom Sherman should henceforth be addressed as the Honorable
Mr. Thomas Sherman. The fact is that we are not showing enough respect for
names here on ARBR. I would like to be addressed henceforth as the Honorable
Mr. Edward Dolan. However, this respect does not extend to scum bags like Ed
Gin. He should be called out for the kind of fucker that he is.
Regards,
The Honorable Mr. Edward Dolan - Minnesota

Poor Guy Chapman would not know a troll if one jumped up and bit him in the
elbow. There has been only one troll here on ARBR since I have been here
(over 3 years) and that is Ed Gin. He is a criminal vandal troll and he
murdered this newsgroup last winter. Mr. Sherman stood by and let it happen.
Guy Chapman took a powder too. These types will not defend the group when it
comes under attack. My contempt for them is boundless! They are essentially
cowards, like all liberals.

Jim, some of the recent posts in a few threads here on ARBR have gone on and
on at great length and I know that no one is reading them. It is case of
egos running amuck.
I hold myself as a model of how we should be posting to ARBR. A few well
crafted paragraphs is all that is ever required. Any more than that and you
are out of control. I am surprised that Mr. Sherman fell for the bait -
hook, line and sinker. He should have known better. Please, everyone, let us
control ourselves!
Regards,
Ed Dolan - Minnesota
