    What the?

    How the heck did Coleman's end up in the No.3 disreputable stakes??

    That's not a fair go I reckon. If you have a beef about a shop you should open about it without being vindictive.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I really should go to the main page more often. I miss out on all this juicey stuff, going straight to the new posts section.

    I guessed that was the reason for it, but I reckon that a bit of education on ettiquette by asking them to get their post removed and then starting their own thread may have been more constructive.

    Sorry to be a curmudgeon F/F, especially given all the stuff you do for people, but I think we need to own the problem and make the solution known so it's clear how to behave in a forum environment. A lot of the bike shop's staff are utter n00bs with this Interweb thingy, and some constructive criticism would be a good way to avoid repeats.

    Sorry for being a nosey fag AGAIN!

    No offense taken Jim2, that was my opinion, and I stick by it, I guess they will get the message one way or another.Perhaps they, like a lot of us will learn this ettiquette you speak of,However, I can't help thinking that they knew what they were doing when they posted.

    Anyway, if they , or anyone else is offended or upset by my action, I apologsie, not my intent. btw what is a "Curmudgeon"

    Looks like somebody's fixed it. The "disreputable stakes" has a couple of glaring omissions (IMHO) but for some strange reason they have green rep... Such is life?
