This is from ANOTHER forum (a Lone Wolf one), but I have to quote this, just to let you know what's going on in the outer world:

So the forum quote of the week doesn't have to be from this forum, apparently. :P

Thanks for the full post, BW. Great. I mean *great*. Now, even the people HERE have an opportunity to fully understand that I'm completely insane. Brilliant.

Yes, but it has to be about someone from this forum.

The first rule about someone from this forum: you don't talk about someone from this forum.

The really scary thing is that Beo managed to accumulate almost 2500 posts in less than 1.5 years in that Lone Wolf forum. And I thought you were obnoxi... a busy poster in THIS one.

Actually, BW was talking about someone from this forum on the other forum from a position of a member of that and not this forum, and moreover, the rules relating to this particular forum do not have to relate to the other forums, even though you are a member of this forum, and of the other forum at the same time. Or something.

In other words, BW is and exception to your rules! :D

Don't worry, they don't know your real name. Wait... ahh, they know it, BW was talking... Alright, at least they don't know where you live. I think.

Ok Paul, I always knew you had a screw loose, as we Germans say, but that is just insane. It started out ok, but now it's just plain silly.

Mine too! :D Maybe we should start a biking thread here - if you promise not to send more than e.g. 10 posts a day. :)

I've got two bikes - one mountain and one trekking (well, we might use this term for a slightly different type of bicycles here, but it's basically a combined bike both for countryside and city). I use the mountain bike in Prague and the trekking one for country biking (well, this may sound ridiculous, but most people in Prague use mountain bikes because Prague is extremely bike-un-friendly and the roads and everything is in bad conditions so you have to use a heavy and stable and "robust" thing here). Both my bicycles are relatively old (like 10 years), but I'm trying to keep them in good conditions. I don't want a super-dooper bicycle, mostly because someone would steal it here. If I use an old-looking bike, I can leave it anywhere and I don't have to worry about it.
