A couple of OpEd pieces i've been farting around with for some weeks now are live on the front page, in anticipation of USADA's upcoming handing off of its Armstrong file to the UCI, and anticipation of any announcement it makes appertaining to the hand-off (if any).
As promised, we'll try ONE thread on this, I think it's unfair for these things to show up on the home page and for you not to be able to talk about it. But, it's this ONE thread, not the first of many, we're going to see how this goes. If you want to talk about Lance Armstrong in this thread in the context of doping and anti-doping, okay (provisionally). But, we're family here. No food fights. No Lance lover/Lance hater fights.
I'm also applying a sort of modification to the classifieds forum rule. If I see that your only posts are about Lance and doping (either pro or anti Lance) you haven't earned the right to converse with these folks on such a heated topic, especially if you've got strong opinions that will be displayed in anything like a caustic manner. Be very careful about what you write if you're new here.
Mostly, behave as if you're in the same room as the person to whom you're talking, that each of your grandmothers is there, and that they're grading you on comportment over content.
