"It looks like you're in like Flynn (whatever that means)!."

I just heard about the source of that idiom on a replay of "Wait, Wait 
Don't Tell Me" on NPR.  It's most commonly considered a reference to Errol 
Flynn, who had a notoriously easy time with the ladies.  When you 
effortlessly accomplish something, you are "in like Flynn".  Google it, 
it's pretty entertaining stuff.  

There's one variant where "in like Flynn" means you effortlessly did 
something bad, and not only succeeded, but you also got away with it, 
unpunished.  That also refers to Errol Flynn, who had to go to trial for 
his exploits with an underage girlfriend.  He was acquitted, which added to 
his notorious rep.

When I first joined the group and began posting, there would typically be a 1 
or 2-day lag until my post would show up. Hard to be part of a convo that way.

But fret not; its only temporary. Now my posts come through instantaneously. I 
guess it was determined i was real. Indeed worth it!

I replied to your email last night.  You were moderated.  That was changed. 
Your posts should now go through. 

If you do plan on unsubscribing, send an email to

with the subscription.

Sorry for the slight delay in responding to your queued posts and email

Agreed. I don't post much here, but I read the list every morning with a 
cup of coffee before I start work. This listserv is definetly worth hanging 
around in. The information and stories are both valuable and entertaining. 
It's a great group. Stay in the group, Tom. You won't regret it, either way.

Stick it out, Tom. This group is a wealth of knowledge, freely shared by a 
wide range of riders and riding styles. And it's the nicest group of ladies
