I disagree. This is exactly the kind of crap that should be in the Lavender Room. It started out as news, but quickly degenerated into an argument about whether the capture was timed to interfere with the Democratic convention. It will only get worse from there.

Pertinance versus petulance. I see. Kinda like pornography. Can't define it, but I know it when I see it.

The rules are the rules. We either all agree or we go back to the way it was.

Fair is fair.

Personally I was never in favor of splitting the forum, but then again I don't start OT topics any more in the main forum either. I guess I am prolonging this one though... I shut up now.

So Tom owns Slowtwitch now? I thought Dan Empfield did. When did the sale occur? My bad for not knowing.

He who has the gold, makes the rules...

"He is in his early 30s, and goes by the nicknames "Foopie" and "Ahmed the Tanzanian".

WTF? He goes by "Foopie"??!!

Could one of you brain surgeons explain to me how this is related to Tri's Du's or cycling?

I'm not a brain surgeon but it does not relate to Tri's, Du's or cycling: Hence the prefix "OT" for Off Topic.

Well? Turn off the Dem convention or Opra and answer my question! :-)

Man, in all seriousness- I apologize. I thought it would be off the page by now.

Sorry guys, I was looking for the quick answer on my way through the office.

What are you fuckin' yelling at me for? I didn't start this topic. And try looking in the mirror sometime. You just posted that troll thread about GWB and Lance-haters. Physician... heal thyself.... persons in glass houses shouldn't cast stones... etc. etc.

When you're right, you're right. Mea culpa. But your analogy is good.

As far as separating the forum goes, I have mixed feelings about it. But it is nice to come to the forum and see people discussing triathlon.

Yes - apparently when this article came out it was considered to be, despite several sources, conspiracy claptrap.

Now that it appears to have come true, who knows what to call it?
