When you look at the remark to which Zoot was speaking: "Nobody on
this message board can help you anywhere NEAR as much as a good,
local bike shop" and read it literally, /that's/ a pretty harsh
dissing of a number of extremely knowledgable and helpful
contributors here -- Mike, Mark, Jobst, and others.
At first blush it looks as if Bill H. is saying absolutely nobody
in r.b.m is as qualified to offer advice, suggestions or
recommendations as any bike shop staff whippersnapper (remember
the "you have to be kidding" thread?) But I think Bill was
actually speaking in terms of matching customer to purchase in
an in-person venue.
cheers,
Tom
