Brilliant work Tea_Bee. (May i call you TB?)
Well said and very eloquent! I agree with that passage and dont think i couldve said it better myself.
There are some of the older hands who are quiet helpful, but i do agree.
I suspect you will make a great oldie if you dont go postal and kill everyone! :-D
Also there seems to be a tendancy sometimes to rile the newbie until he snaps and curses and swears and ultimately gets banned. Quiet sad really as we should be trying to encourage newbies like ourselves to start both cycling and using only one gear.
The problem is that you may end up getting attacked yourself for that passage (and postal here we come!)
But damn, there were some pearls in there that made me laugh ( i think its cause i can relate)
Some will say just ignore the person making rude comments, but when they cut you off at every Thread, it is difficult.
I really like this forum, dont get me wrong, i really do. There are some seriously gifted people here. And tons of information and humour to boot. But for a noob (i laughed at myself for using that l33t speak) it is difficult to speak up.
