Subject: The Cycling Newsgroups - Whither Goest Thou?
|
Has anyone but me ever really looked at all the different cycling
newsgroups? Quite a few are strictly for nerds. The racing group for
instance is strictly for the teenage types whose brains are in their gonads.
The technical group is really far out. Here is where the genuine jerks hang
out discussing things that no one in their right mind gives a damn about.
The touring group is dead as those who tour are too busy touring to ever
post to it. The mountain bike group is not so bad as there is lots of
controversy there thanks to Vandeman. The same goes for the social group.
The miscellaneous group, the largest group, is a hodge-podge of unrelated
crapola. The recumbent group, my group, used to be the best of the lot, but
it too has fallen on hard times. I try to keep it going, but it is a losing
battle. All it takes is one criminal vandal troll bring down a small group.
I think the social group ought to be the heart and soul of all the cycling
groups. Everything else is a side dish. Ideally, the social group ought to
be the largest and the most interesting. I am going to start paying more
attention to it as I like to discuss large issues. I leave the mindless
trivia to my inferiors on the other newsgroups who seemingly have never
encountered a large idea in their entire lives. Their motto seems to be ...
think small, do small and be small. That is not for someone so Great as
MYSELF.
It would be interesting to me to hear how others justify their time and
effort spent on these cycling newsgroups. What do they get out of it, other
than lots of aggravation. I used to get nothing but aggravation myself until
I learned that newsgroups are for fools and the only reason for being on any
of them is for the fun and games. And so that is what I do. I have some fun
and I play some games. You should do the same or else you will go crazy from
the frustration of it all.
Anyone who takes newsgroups seriously is a fool. Any group of people at all
needs to have a leader, otherwise known on these forums as a moderator or an
editor. Without that, you have nothing but chaos. It is ever the way of all
human behavior.

John Lee Hooker wrote a song about you, it's called "Hittin' the Bottle
Again". A sad stary about a pathetic alchoholic who is one step away
from the gutter. Take the step already, scumbag.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
