I don't think it's cynical or aggressive, I'm just trying to get the context of Patrick Moore's tubular-curiosity.
Lots of people read the RBW group because it's something to read that generates interesting stuff. The majority of the users are lurkers and that's perfectly OK Lots of people pick up info on one Google Group board and then insert it into another where they think it can be helpful. That's also perfectly OK Some people are just lifelong learners and want to learn everything there is to know about bicycles, even the stuff they'd never buy. That's also fine. Some people want to gather info about a specific project on the horizon, and having that target in mind can help focus the exchange Finally, Patrick Moore has been sitting on a frame set, with a 5-year-long narrative of intents to build it. That's the only machine in his possession that I know of that could feasibly "take" sew-ups. I excitedly asked about that. I think those are five very different and perfectly reasonable motives, and could help generate responses that get the asker what they want. Maybe you picked up cynicism or aggressiveness because you suspect Patrick Moore and I are strangers. That is not the case. We go back over a decade.
