Pete: I'm not a Canadian so I don't work the I Love You You Love Me We're A
Happy Family vibe of Barney the Dinosaur. I'm also inclined to be satirical
when I encounter idiots. And third, I don't automatically respect someone just
because they have a position/title in the "industry" -- whether that be
"journalism" (cough cough) or literal manufacture. So you may want to read my
posts with those thoughts in mind. You're free to dismiss me if you think I'm
an idiot who holds no honor in the "industry", it won't bother me any, I don't
need your or anyone else's validation to know I'm offering insights that many
of you either don't have yourselves, or if you do have them, you're afraid to
discuss them anywhere except in Maxwell Smart's Cone of Silence.
I don't understand why you are working so hard to defend NSMB in this
discussion. It makes you look insecure. Be strong, weather the criticism, and
maybe grow a bit in the process.
But don't expect me to pull punches like Cam McRae or Vernon Felton. I have
the luxury of not having my income threatened by telling the truth, since I am
not in the "industry" of MTB manufacture or that misnomer "journalism" about
MTBs.
