No girls- it's me! While self absorbtion is not the most obnoxious trait I have, (BF says #6) this one is mine mine mine! No one needs to comment on my most obnoxious habit- my posts are too long. And some would say too opinionated.
Let's all say sorry and get on with our lives. It could be argued that all are rude- or questioned which one is rude. Best to all be a sport and ride away from it. Isn't the cat fur all over making your nose itch? It is mine, time to move on from it.

I'm sad that your bike was stolen, Trek, thats as bad as the dog dying and why don't you start an in memorium thread on it all to itself. Many of us, including myself, can commiserate. A good bike deserves it. And keeping issues separate will keep things clearer. Especially for newbies.
