Re: [RC] on newbies - Kristene SmutsLysane, very good post and I think you summarised it quite well. But it still remains that the advice, stories and experiences shared, and opinions voiced are quite invaluable to a person like me trying to get going in the sport.>> I think Americans (not trying to be nasty, just pointing out an observed fact) think that the rest of the world has the same kind of access to knowledge than they do. NOT!!! This list has been invaluable to myself and to the few other South Africans on this list - without it we would not have the foggiest about what we are doing. Only now are South Africans getting to use e-lytes as a rule - most riders didn't know what you were talking about when you mentioned it! The other good thing that came from being so far away, is that I've had to take what I could, adapt what I could, and if it didn't feel right, would ignore it. And that is exactly what your post did very well in pointing out.
