Dale,
My background is similar to many folks here, wrench as a youngin' and back to enjoy the medium/sport as an older type. I would view my bike-related exposure and skills somewhat narrow in comparison to some of the more expert in our group. I love this forum, usually.
To be fair, all topics are not equal. That's fine as I can vote with my feet. Delete is a well worn button on my keypad, but I find myself delving into more and more as the list allows...even with my limited time.
I'm not as loquacious as some, don't put my name in lights much. I do, however, appreciate those that do when content has substance. I don't make judgement as to quality for the group, only whether it interests me or not. Maybe in the future more will flow from me.
The point here? It is a list I respect, has some occasional wandering and even useless banter. So what? It is well controlled IMHO, and wish to give you my thanks and full support in the continued management of this room. It is a tough job, I know. And I suspect not terribly cheap.
You have my respect and admiration.
Regards,
Les Himel
