    LOL, Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. The way you put the time thing was just funny. So do we all get to come to your house now for cookies and milk?


    I understand what you mean about spending time on answering and then having to re-answer for another. I can see how that would be very frustrating. I think it's our human nature thing coming out where we tend to take things like other peoples time and effort for granted.
    I'm sorry if I have ever done that.

    As far as people being friendly or not, I think we as humans take that for granted too. I don't think others are being snobs if they don't wave. I really don't think much of it except for maybe a quick thought of "how rude".
    I am only speaking of those that look directly at you when you smile and wave and they choose to ignore you. Shoot, I had co-workers do that where I use to work. Walk by, say hi and smile and they look right at you and keep going.
    As I hear other people respond I can see now that maybe they had something on their minds and were spaced out for a moment and really didn't see or hear me.
    So, I guess we shouldn't make judgements on others unless we know for sure they are just being rude. That would be the lesson of the day.

    Now lets all go to V's house for cookies.

    I do not mind in the least, revisiting topics that have been discussed. Unlike say, changing the brakes on your bike, a subject like waving or camraderie among cyclists isn't so objective or cut and dry.

    People bring different perspectives and in addition, some of our opinions can and do evolve. I know mine have and I like to give others the same flexibility, if they have undergone some change of mind/heart.

    If I do not have something to add or feel like discussing a subject (like the one that inspired this thread), then I simply don't contribute - knowing others will add their thoughts on the matter.

    Sure! It's a REALLY good batch. They are always good, but sometimes they just turn out primo. Today is one of those days.
