I don't think we are going very far with this proposal of democarcy. I believe Dale a few years ago, when the list had threatened to get out of control, stated that his future policy would be the "Attila the Hun" school of management. Or maybe that was Ghengis Khan, but you get the idea. Considering the chaos on some discussion lists that have tried democracy, I think a little benovelant dictatorship isn't a bad thing.

I bet you don't support the troops, either, do you?

I know some, if not many of you will become infuriated with what I'm about to suggest, but I'll suggest it anyway as by recent posts we CLEARLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT A KOF bicycle (myself included) is.

I read the CR list rules and I realize this is a Republican run list.

However, I think we ought to take a "Democratic" approach to laying this KOF thing to rest.

I suggest: Every CR list member SUBMITS A LIST OF WHAT HE OR SHE BELIEVES QUALIFIES FOR AND/OR IS A KOF BICYCLE; (makes, models, brands, tubing, builder, componentry, etc.) Then we cross off all of the "doubles" (for a KOF suggested more than one time) and make a list. The list could then be put on the CR website. This way everyone gets to "chime in" and from there we have "fully-encompassing criteria" from which to refer to and discuss.
