DAve ,,, dont snip out just part of what i wrote . Seems to be a habit on these forums. Its unfair to criticize conversation on minor details such as grammar and puntuation . These are non cycling related issues.
Its easy to blast someone for using lots of commas ,,, like there i did it again ,,, 3 commas ,,, must be a nervous twitch . Sorry bud ,,,, i cant spell and you cant read . ( see next line )
I said 300 million and not 300 Americans . I wrote that just to remind everyone just how many people there are and that the opinions are not just a few on these forums . Who reads this , other than cyclists . The average motorists hates us just for being on the road. The average motorist isnt tuning in here . The average motorist hates us because he is forced to move the foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal for a few momments . WE are trying to change all that , winning and numbers help .
The average motorist ( most of the public ) is going to glance at the original head lines and say , look honey WE won the TDF . The average isnt even going to read past the 3rd paragraph, regarding the article .

Now personally , re-read your famous Tennesse saying > what is up with the
dash at the end of everything . Have you forgotten your famous quote , hence the use of dash , dash ?

Then we have the German restaurant guy, yes he knows , he is the expert , maybe he is an immigrant too , maybe he is a soccer fan and drives fast cars and hates cyclists , maybe he has to wait behind lots of packs of cyclists , cause everyone knows they are all dope heads anyway . Maybe he is telling you what you want to hear so you spend lots of money in his restaurant . Yes that says it right there . You should always listen to the German restaurant guy. Did you leave a big tip ?

So now for the ultimate comment , since you are blasting me for all this , i have only one more non cycling thing to say , to you .
If you are using quoting from Tennessee , i am assumming your residence is there , ok no problem . But ,,, who on earth taught you to distill Whisky ?
lol . :eek:

So you mean that there are millions of people who don't know any details about Lance and still think he's a great guy.........but on a forum where most regulars know heaps of detail, roughly 90% believe he is a doping bully who unethically misrepresents his business activities in order to profit from a charity. Is that what you were trying to say?

Dude, your posts are rapidly deteriorating from rambling to incoherent.:rolleyes:

Do you think all those dots and dashes are some sort of code?

He does it as a courtesy to the rest of the readers. Seriously.

Back in the day, we used to call it saving bandwidth.

Dave.

P.S. Seriously dude, try and figure out the punctuation thing.

Like this guy says: "There is only one reason to use punctuation correctly - but it is a vitally important reason: to make oneself understood with clarity."

It may seem like I am picking on you but I am actually trying to help.

Your stuff is REALLY (big letters mean I am yelling) hard to read. If, indeed, you have immigrated from a non-English speaking country (you said "maybe he is an immigrant too" in your last post), then this will help you in many different areas.

These things: ;:,.?! all come at the very end of a word -- with no space preceding them. They are followed by a single space. This thing ... is a character, but this thing ,,, is not. The '...' character is commonly used to indicate that something has been snipped (typically for clarity) from the original source. Alternately, it has become fashionable in the Internet world when you are expressing yourself to indicate 'ad nauseum', 'etc.', 'more of the same', 'continued', etc.

The use of -- (double hyphen which = one dash) can be used in the case of a parenthetic expression. Sometimes some people use only a single hyphen '-' to represent a dash, but it is more correct to use the double hyphen.

If you use a dash in the middle of a sentence, you must close the parenthetic expression with another dash '--'.

If you don't like the double-hyphen, you can replace both of them with left '(' and right ')' parens appropriately. Or, more subtly, you can bracket a parenthetic expression with the comma ',', as at the start of this sentence.

If you want to get really fancy, you can replace a '--' with a semicolon ';', but this is only where one '--' would be used as the parenthetic expression must now be closed with a period '.'.

The triple hyphen '---' is sometimes used to represent a pause. In this case, I quoted the source in my post that had used this to indicate a pause in GW's speach and I chose not edit the quote.

You raise up your head and you ask 'Is this where it is?'
and somebody points to you and says 'It's his'
and you say 'what's mine?' and somebody else says 'well what is?'
and you say 'Oh my god am I here all alone?'
