It appears that Jan's post was taken down. Either he took it down himself or the moderator did.
For those of you that missed it , Jan is offering to pass on the revenue from Bicycle Quarterly subscriptions to Black Lives Matter LINK HERE <https://www.renehersecycles.com/a-small-thing-bq-fund-drive-to-benefit-black-lives-matter/> If his original post was taken down by anyone other than Jan, I find this deeply disturbing. There are currently active posts on this RBW Owners Bunch google group related to fly fishing rods, "wrenching for the homeless" , Nikon cameras and someone seeing advice on a recumbent bike for their dad None of those are really in line with what this group is supposed to discuss. Jan is offering a magazine that most, if not all, members would be interested in and letting the group know that currently he's donating those funds to an organization. Grant has done similar promotions to inspire his customer base to buy items that would benefit a cause. If the cause Jan is supporting doesn't appeal to you, then don't buy the magazines. But, if this group can't handle the content of Jans' post or is somehow offended by the prospect of supporting Black Lives Matter, then that is a sad reflection on the nature of this online community. I suspect this group is comprised of *mostly* older white men. That is important to keep in check when analyzing why this post may have been removed. I would like to know why it is gone. I do hope Jan removed it himself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
