Ridecamp: [RC] quit picking on howard

Joe Long Wrote<<<<<I don't "hate Howard," and some of his stories are
entertaining.  But
when he climbs on his soapbox, he tends to put out a lot of
misinformation.  He lacks historical perspective on these issues, and
too often just doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, yet
spouts off as if he's the fount of all endurance knowledge.  Those of
us who know better have an obligation to correct his misinformation
and "set the record straight."  There are many people who read this
list, and they deserve the straight dope.
Howard also invites the "flames" he gets back by his disparaging
insults hurled at those who do not agree with him, and his "I'm right
and everyone who doesn't agree is stupid" demeanor.
I know the above is bit harsh, and for that my apologies -- I try when
responding to Howard's posts to not get personal.  However, I think
what I said above needs to be pointed out>>>>>>>

I agree wholeheartedly with what Joe has to say.  I don't *hate* Howard
either, and in case no one noticed, I have not found reason to disagree with
ANYONE else on this list - but Joe is right, Howard invites it and the
bottom line is that he is not correct in his information and won't even
qualify it with "this is just my opinion"
