Bruce,

My name is Susan Otcenas, and I am the owner of Team Estrogen, Inc. I'd like to make it VERY clear that you are quite welcome here. I'd also like to add my voice to the chorus that has apologized to you for the inappropriate and quite thoughtless PM you received.

This forum is dedicated to women's cycling. However, that doesn't mean that only women cyclists are welcome here. We have a very small minority of men on these forums who enjoy participating inthe lively discussions we have here. As long as posts are on-topic and not inappropriate, then they are welcome.

Regrettably, a small number of women here feel that men should not be permitted. That men somehow spoil the "girls locker room" feel that tends to develop, especially since many of the conversations are quite frank. This in and of itself tends to weed out most of the men who wander in here Nonetheless, we will not ask men to leave as long as they play nice.

Thank you for your service to the country.

Tailwinds,

Susan
