Slowly but surely I'm getting to know more and more of those on the forum which is a spiffing thing. Apart from "Oi", "wheel-jockey" "hipster" etc., what is the etiquette on spotting a fellow forum member?
Much like the masons, of which I'm also a member*, I think there should be a word that alerts other riders that you are a forum member and not a mentalist.
my suggestions: 1) VBoy (in honour of someone who used to be on the forum); 2)The name of one of those who may have been lost on the road - this way their name lives on and for people who never knew them; or 3) [a better suggestion than mine]
Don't worry, this isn't an aim to start "Kling-on" or anything exclusive, but it is quite obvious that a number of those spotted don't even notice the "spot".
