I DO. So can you, without biking off-road. All of humanity managed to do
just that for millions of years before mountain bikes were invented.
Why spend so much energy on denying people from having

I don't. There a lot of ways to have fun, without destroying someone else's
fun.

There are plenty of people working on those other problems, but hardly any
working on banning mountain biking.
Not to mention the

You mean you DON'T?! Double-shame! (Unless you live in India.)

Nice, IF TRUE. Mountain bikers are working overtime trying to get access.

Yeah, pull your head out of your ass, trim newsgroups, and read the
friggin' FAQ.

If you're still having difficulty understanding things, ask an adult to
explain it to you, but don't whine if you don't like the answer that you
get.

him are ignored, it's a the only way he can keep his account. we got him
shut off there about 3 years ago ( with a letter from the guy in abuse
saying he'd shut him off), but after a couple of days it seems someone
higher up overruled the decision (remember Mickey works a pacbell) and
reinstated his account, since then there has been no response to Any
complaints with mikey in the message. i did get one through 2 years ago
when the damn fool was accusing me (in public) of emailing him obscene
threats. i left all reference to mikey (or vandeman) out of the email,
and carefully explained that i would include pacbell in a libel suit if
they didn't keep the idiot under control. i've had no more trouble with
the prick since, he rarely response to me!

school. He decided to come back to the small town because he could be a big
man in this small town. He really wanted to impress everyone. He opened his
new law office, but business was very slow at first.
One day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk to his office. He decided to
make a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to
the door, Joe picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while
saying, "No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York that I won't
settle this case for less than $1 million. Yes. The appeals court has agreed
to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument, and the
other members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the DA that I'll
meet with him next week to discuss the details."
This sort of thing went on for almost five minutes. All the while, the man
sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions. Finally, Joe put down the phone
and turned to the man.
"I'm sorry for the delay," he said, "but as you can see, I'm very busy. What
can I do for you?"
The man replied, "I'm from the phone company. I came to hook up your phone."

What do you mean by "this guy"? Do you always refer to yourself
that way or do you think that changing your posting handle from
"Nicola" to "NicolaTheKanamit" will fool people into believing
you're a different idiot than the fat guy riding silly wheels who
asks for opinions and flails about when he doesn't like the
answers he gets(how's that for arun-on sentence)?

If you don't give a shit, why do you keep responding? Did you
read the FAQ? Did you understand it?

I don't see it as being "rude", I see you people cross posting your replies
to the Troll as being Rude and inconsiderate.

For what it's worth David, I could care less what you thank. I post Jokes
to the troll because I thank his posts are jokes. I also post jokes to those
people that post a reply to the troll.
