I only got half way through all those posts. Not sure I want to continue. Pretty weird/sick stuff. Before that thread existed, I thought to myself, after lurking for all these years, wouldn't it be great to meet the ST crowd. Now, I am not so sure :)

ditto

I've had the exact opposite reaction to that thread.

I have the exact opposite opinion about that thread - it is real - one of the very few things on this forum tht is - real and honest - better than 99% of the other crap we toss around

Me too. The exact opposite reaction.

Real .... no, I had just the opposite thought: this thread, though definitely entertaining, is full of more shit than any other thread in recent memory. I opted not to play along.

I thought it interesting that some of the more 'out there'posts were made by people whose names I don't recognize and have few posts on ST.

j-son, good observation. As with anything on the internet (and in Newsweek), anything you read must be taken with a grain of salt.

if anything, the thread has been entertaining and, from a sociological point of view, interesting.

My BS detector rang many times while reading it...between that and the "Promiscuous Slowtwitchers" thread it's about worn out..

Isn't Slowman already rich, or at least "well off"....

hey, shouldn't i get a cut of the money?!!

seriously though, the reason i started it was because i couldn't believe the people on here are the perfect triathletes they sometimes seem to be, or, maybe that I sometimes assume they must be. i wasn't thinking of life stuff, i was thinking of tri stuff. i mean, do people really like the long, slow run? i hate that workout. do they practice what they preach with nutrition and heart rate? is EVERYONE on slowtwitch a bike geek? (apparently not.) prior to that thread, i thought i was a slacker compared to everyone else and probably shouldn't post very much. now i realize that i'm pretty much like everyone else.

anyway.

You're definitely material for the El Paso training camp :-)

I've met at least 15 St'rs including some of the weirder ones. Everyone has been a pretty spot on person. Yeah some are weirder than others, quieter or louder, but it's the same crowd you find w/ any group of people just fitter.

Aren't you even feeling concerned about having potential serial killers on slowtwitch?? ;-)

ditto what brian said... the ST'ers that i have met are pretty dead on off screen as they are on screen. even those i knew b4 they got on ST behave online as they do off.
