Interesting how the facts can be altered (or ignored) to support one's point of view.

JB's a saint. Didn't you know he used to ride for ONCE? (Oops! Those 2 statements are contradictory. My bad.)
progressor said:Excellent news.

That's why I'd like to see Alberto ride for Caisse. Put all the eggs in one Spanish basket and see how the tour organization and UCI treats them. Alberto will need to contact Lance on Twitter protocol when the vampires show up for sampling.

Now TFF be fair, the mods may not be quick enough to catch everything. After all BPC etal. is a trolling professional and not everyone can keep up.

Sorry do I need to post 15 times a day to be a good poster? If Only I'd known more = better
I'll have to completely disagree with you as well. Such is life.
Since there is no TTT this year, AC will not be hurt by going to a Spanish team. I'd like to see him on Garmin.
I think I'm reasonably neutral in the troll wars. For any mods that read this, I have to say that banning people is a pretty extreme measure. This forum is like a dinnertime conversation at a family gathering. Some people keep their elbows off the table, stick to the topic at hand, and keep their mouths closed when they eat. Others drink too much wine and get a little sloppy with their language. And then there's the third cousin who's new to the family and who doesn't offer anything to the conversation. He's off topic, he's boring, he's only here for free food and to pick a fight, but you still don't kick him out because hey, he's family. And when the drunk uncle crosses the line in calling him out, you just smile and let them squabble.
So save the banning for the really extreme behaviour or for someone who doesn't offer anything related to cycling. When a long time contributor occasionally calls a guy an idiot or a douche, sure it's not nice and no, it doesn't contribute to the forum but come on, it's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

A. There are no long time contributors here, this forum is pretty new
b. The personal abuse doesn't fit with the rules, and declaring people who disagree with you stupid or idiots consistently is pretty ridiculous as well. When a bunch of posters all start on one other poster with that sort of stuff, it's way out of order. it seems like the forum equivalent of an attempted gang beating

Especially when the subject in question is often both an idiot and a douche!
on tff - he is priceless and should be made an honorary member. when he gets out of line that's when hes at his best.
on contador - did anyone notice that contador admitted dela fuente was hired by astana on his insistence. does it mean the silence is pregnant ?

not a strange news but the source.
some Kazakh outfit refers to CN as the source of news that Alberto Contador is no longer a member of velogruppy "Astana".
they say the kcf did not confirm nor deny the news.
I checked the latest feed on cn and found nothing of sorts
Susan?

My, that is interesting. I wonder where we "said" that?
Susan
Edit: to add that I just love "velogruppy"

(per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupie)
'sexual and/or emotional intimacy with a celebrity or other authority figure.'

Actually all I could think of was "guppy" -- and I just keep imagining the little fish on a bike.
Which reminds me of that old saying, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle".
Oh, don't tell my husband I said that.....
