This is why, in regulated environments, small subgroups aren't permitted to create the rules for the whole group. Otherwise we'd get owners of Italian and German supercars raising speed limits 200% because those speeds are safe for them and damn everyone else they're idiots for driving standard vehicles why don't they just die and leave the roads free for us real drivers?!! Similarly, when I owned a 4WD I would have been happy if all roads were goat tracks and who cares if sedans would have their sumps ripped out at every bump, that's their owners' faults for buying such incapable wussy vehicles. Bike riders, truckers, public transport riders, and pedestrians all have similar sentiments of their own exclusive right to the roads.
The road user allusion fits the internet like a glove, and while I realise that the web is a lawless badland, that's no reason to dismiss or disparage most of its users just because you ride at the pointy end. BTW I've never had a problem viewing your pages, Godfrey. regards, Anthony 2008/7/26 Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Jul 25, 2008, at 6:32 PM, P. J.
