Well, slantz has really caused a furor, eh?

People are arguing about change. Even the complaints about the advertising are stemming from change. The advertising complaints are different expressions about the change in the premiere fee.

It is silly but that's human nature and we all have it, to varying degrees.

SnappyPix, from those of us who have been at bikejournal for awhile, ignore the negativity and keep logging your miles there for free. The site will take care of itself with paying and non-paying members. The long timers at bj have been through this issue a few times before. It took time to get the negativity ironed out but we did. We are better for it. We long-timers want everyone there to participate and enjoy the site. I was very disappointed in the use of "freeloader" but looking at the sign-up date of the user, it was more understandable. That individual doesn't know the history of this issue. We really aren't "high and mighty" or endowed with anything special. We are just ordinary people. I am very sorry you were offended in such a manner.
