I like Spazz's idea a lot, probably because I was thinking the same thing just before I read it.
I don't mind sharing my opinion for free. I do think it would be better to have a designated place for that to happen. I would not like to see this forum become one of those places where every third post is an advertisement for something I don't want to buy.

What's Going On on TE?
Right now Currently Active Users: 232 (62 members and 170 guests)
My LBS checks TE (c'mon now, Chris. Who are you?
) not in the weird men reading the board creepy kind of way. He is honestly interested in what do those women riders want!?! I'd nominate him as an honorary woman 
because he treats his clients well but I don't think he'd accept and his wife and kid would have issues.
But 170 guests right now. Some of them are bike companies etc.

nah - there are tons of little automated programs out there "crawling the web" sometimes they are simply reading and archiving or reading and generating key words linked to the URL, like the way back machine or search engines. Originally Posted by Trek420

Sometimes they are more sinister - like bots that post ads on forums that don't have one of those little type in the wavy numbers and letters to verify you are real human boxes.
