maybe you could collect a list of those of us who WANT TO hear the ranting of a bike shop owner. I loved the stories, including the "pole" story; because sometimes I forget a word and the only thing I can do is substitute something else (and it's funny, I know it is!!!)
It wasn't such a long time ago that my derailleur was a thingy and if you ask my DH he'll tell you I still don't get cassette and chain rings straight sometimes!
