He is. And he will ride a bicycle at any time of the day or night. My point is that if you are going to have cycling forums, they really ought to include members who have interesting or singular perspectives on, well... cycling and forums. On these eligibility criteria he knocks it out of the park, and yet he (and other valuable contributors) are excluded (often by technocrats who rarely have anything interesting to say about anything) and often impugned or misrepresented by people who don't know what they're talking about. It's to the detriment of the forum. I take a very different position to Sam on the subject under discussion, but posting things on CC has long been one of the ways I work out what I think about things. If you don't create a meaningful community where complex subjects can be ranged over, unpicked, skimmed, plumbed, or allowed to ping off in other directions, it's hardly surprising if what you get is entrenchment, amongst the community and at the margins of it.
