Anyone that thinks Tom's posts need to be moved to another forum is a communist, socialist, liberal hippie freak......or something like that.
Seriously, why does Tom need to be regulated? What's the crime? If he does have to post in the classifieds, what next.....is Slowman going to make him pay a fee for each post because his business might profit? And then is the Marshall going to stand next to the cash register at bikesportsmichigan to collect the fine?
That's a problem with this country; the need that some people have to tax and regulate every single activity that might happen to produce revenue.
**All of these words finding themselves together were greatly astonished and delighted for assuredly, they had never met before**

I am a socialist, liberal, hippie freak. Tom's posts need to stay here, period.
Having said that, there is also nothing wrong with Dopey et al. wondering if its the proper place. He found out the Twitchers want Tom here, end of story, everybody have a nice Kwanza/Chanukah/Christmas/Buying Season/Winter Solstice/Western New Year/(insert holiday of choice here).

Post You Pic thread. And she is cute, so she doesn't have to be nice unless she feels like it. She gets very affectionate when you call her "Squirrel".

i did not read through all the posts prolly only scanned about 1/3 but Dopey are you kidding. Tom's post could hardly be considered advertising. imho his posts are hardly commercial other then to point to new articles on his shops website.
i am more of a lurker and generally only post when i have something to say that has not been already said, but give me a break. the most commercial post i can ever think of the prolley 1,000+ demerly posts that i have read where when he talked about selling some stuff on e-bay.
as a background i prolley have disagreed with him as much as i have agreed, but you must be kidding. keep tom's post right where they have been. i think dan e has done a good job of policing the forum. but i am glad to see he and the majority of the st-ers do not view tom's posts as commercial.
peace and happy holidays,

another vote in support of tom's postings and reviews. i find them to be very informative, and i see them as useful dialogue on equipment and gear relevant to a triathlon forum. yes he is a businessman, and does gain the benefit of publicity exposure for his store, but at the same time, his time is valuable, and he dispenses a lot of useful information, and fields technical questions without asking for anything in return. i consider that to be a fair tradeoff. imo, this forum is better off from having notable industry members such as tom, gerard, hebert, provide can provide additional, and sometimes exclusive insight to us consumers.
this forum is largely self-regulatory. tom is smart enough to realize that alienating the slowtwitch community is detrimental any goodwill his store may have within the forum. yes, you could have the possibility that other dealers could run rampant and excessively exploit the use of the forum, but they would also bear the risk of the backlash, as there are a fair share of posters that would make their distaste perfectly clear. plus if it reached the point where it hordes of people might be driven away, you can be sure slowman will step in to protect his property.

hey, I noticed you were wearing a Lance wristband. Want a pinkie? I got one because my aunt died from breast cancer, had to buy ten, so I've been giving them to people I know who wear yellow (since I kinda know you).
