Re: [RC] 25milers - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...Joe is correct that the "limited" name was the most applicable of several choices. "Novice" was rejected for obvious reasons--not all who ride them are novices. "Training" was likewise rejected--again, clearly not all ride them for training. "Limited" seemed to fit, and certainly was not intended to be derogatory in any way...." A true fable: In 1948 a small boy started school in Cranford, NJ. After a few weeks, Miss Davis divided his class into three groups: The Red Birds, The Blue Birds, and the Brown birds to start teaching them to read. In less than one week, all of the children knew that the Red Birds were smart, and the Brown Birds were dumb. The Brown Birds were continually teased for being dumb. Moral: While words can hurt, no amount of political correctness in choosing them can prevent nasty people from using them as weapons.
