This is a newsgroup, using the NNTP protocol, not a "message board",
whatever the hell that is. There is much valuable information
contained in Usenet archives where stupid remarks are neither forgiven
nor forgotten.
There are people posting to this hierarchy of groups, from all over
the world who've been riding and wrenching bikes far longer than the
average LBS employee has been riding without training wheels. It's
likely to be the best resource in the world if you can learn to ignore
the bull****ers and nobodies.
I see you're accessing this group with your point&click web browser
(HTTP) so probably know squat anyway.
