Okay, here's my pet peeve on the way CRlist members post. They hit "REPLY ALL" and I get duplicate posts (like there aren't enough posts per day already?).

Just send one to the list and don't "CC:" to the original poster, OKay?

My method? Hit "REPLY ALL" and then delete the "TO:" address to sender and change "CC:" to CRlist to "TO:" to the CRlist and then send it.

Oh yes... and delete all the extraneous stuff in the post you are quoting that doesn't pertain to your post!

Less bandwidth with more content...

"The theoretical maximum speed of a bicycle ridden on level ground on the moon is 2,375 miles per hour." --Scientific American, September, 1983.

"Here I am trying to visualize the gear required to go light speed. First, I think even the most hard-headed retro-grouches will admit that an 11 cog is appropriate here. For a decent 120 rpm spin, and for a typical 2.1 meter rolling circumference : front chainring = (3x10^8 / 2.1) * 11 / 120 = 13 million teeth. The chainring will have a diameter, therefore, assuming a tooth pitch of 0.5 inches, of 53 kilometers." --Dan Connelly
