Why the rude comment? I thought it was an interesting article and a fun starting point for a discussion. You may disagree but if so why bother commenting? There's the entire rest of the internet to read, I'm sure you can find something you do care about.

Edit: I jumped the gun a bit with this post due to sleep deprivation and misunderstanding. Explanation / apology downthread.

Yep; I think I'll spend the rest of the day month reading through certain sections of this forum where I never usually go, using the same retort. I could be some time .

Maybe it was a clever joke about being a Garrulous Cycle Hater and I just didn't get it.

It is the practice of a number of them, spread out across the road, to rush down at headlong speed, more like a horde of Apaches or Sioux Indians, conches shrieking and bells going; and woe betide the luckless man or aught else coming in their way.

Conches?
