why are you always reading more into things? Do you always expect that a
statement has some hidden meaning? Jeez lighten up:-)
If you're gonna ride...ride hard or stay home.

I have to agree with Bobbi. For a sport that prides itself on few rules and
enjoyable, light hearted competition, this group certainly does get it's
panties in a wad over mention of a product or anything even remotely outside
of endurance racing. I think most in this group are not offended and
actually enjoy hearing about new products. As to the Easy Boot mention....
I, too, thought it was amusing and in good fun, just as the author intended
it.

In addition.... has anyone given thought to how much mail they are receiving
and/or SENDING in reference to objections REGARDING this subject????? I
don't see product promotion as being out of hand on this list. Perhaps it's
time to give it a rest.
