    just feel the need to express that I am very happy that we opted out of Interbike this year!!! One can only handle so many years of Vegas. On a positive note - NAHBS is in Sacramento in February and Deb Banks from Rivet ask me to put my bike in her booth - WOOT

    That's pretty cool about the Deb Banks thing!

    I expect you don't mind having missed out on the women-in-thongs socks at Interbike.

    for sure, even Surly opted for a very low presence this year. I will miss getting free sports beans from Jelly belly though

    Random confession:

    I find myself checking in here at TE more and more often, not because of any great bike related issues but because the level of education and discourse here is far higher than other boards I visit on the web.

    I fear this makes me a bit of a snob. Also, I'm okay with that; I'm very tired of trying to converse while searching for "lesser" words and concepts to convey meaning.

    Thank you, TE women, for keeping this place from descending into the mediocrity that infects much of the internet.

    Exactly.
    I don't think its snobby. We tend to want to communicate with others who communicate the same way we do ourselves.
