that may well be true. it could be that his entire post is exactly accurate. or not. it's immaterial. it just can't be the first post. when we start judging first posts by their accuracy, then we lose our prohibition on trial-by-internet. my main interest isn't wahoo, or garmin, or the fidelity of heart rate monitors. it's the health of the community. it's like spam. about half of all new user accounts here are spam. i catch most of them. if i don't catch them at the point of new account registration, i hope to catch them when they post. but you occasionally see them. should i allow all the spammers, because occasionally there's a spam you might find useful? we can either judge the fidelity of the each new first post on its merits, or we can just say: no spammers; and no setting up an account to exercise scratch your trial-by-internet itch.
