    Yes, it does carry the name of the person reporting. There is a box to explain what you think is problematic. I suppose we can look at it if there wasn't a reason given, I don't think it's ever happened, nor can I imagine why someone would feel a need to. Feel free to report this post if...

    2025 Vuelta CQ game

    Did particularly well in the Spring and Vuelta, and decently in the Giro, to make up for a very mediocre Tour performance. Partial win for all of us, except (probably) the ever eclectic Redhead Dane.

    That would have put you over the budget, but replacing Bisiaux or Kwiatkowski to be able to afford it could have improved your score somewhat.

    The Podium Slam

    Ok, done. He had a third that was disqualified (2010), and also a fourth elevated to third (2008). It is the former that is relevant in this listing as we are going by results as published immediately after the final stage. I had thought of the asterisks as only marking results that were...

    The Podium Slam

    Almeida moves into the two podiums section, with 2/3/4 matching Fornara and Geminiani Hindley moves up within the 1 podium section. Jorgensen, Gall and Pellizzari each have two of the three GTs on their lists. In view of previous discussions, Lejarreta now showing as a best of 2nd in the...

    2025 Women's CQ Manager game

    I think we can clearly say that there podium teams are clear, but their order is not. There are 5 riders common to all three teams (and are the 5 most popular picks all told) FERGUSON Cat FERRAND PREVOT Pauline LUDWIG Cecilie Uttrup REUSSER Marlen VAN DER BREGGEN Anna So that means that the...

    2025 Women's CQ Manager game

    18th August to 15 Sept Sorry: something has gone weird with the spreadsheet, and I can't reconcile the points differences for each rider to the results and points on their CQ pages (the download is from Sunday: might they have altered some results since then? I hadn't read of any being...

    Tell me you didn't do Latin at school without telling me you didn't do Latin at school.

    I got worried reading that that you were going to say that you put the duct tape over your mouth, or possibly even that of others at the meeting, or at least that you physically stuck your hand to the table to avoid raising it (or hitting anyone with it).

    If posts get deleted it's because they are not wanted on the board (and sometimes because they are innocent, but rely on deleted content for their context and meaning). Please stop posting recollections of contentious, and deleted, material.

    Correlation, by definition, is across a sample, not invariably accurate for every case, nor did I suggest that it was. But leaving comments on police action was only going to licence and exacerbate political comment.

    Moderation

    That is sort of the position I aimed for, but it very soon became apparent that opinions about the line that authorities should take in relation to protestors correlated so strongly to the same posters' opinions on the issue in Gaza that the issue became a proxy argument for the wider one. Thus...
