Actually the upset I referred to was more exogenous life stressors. The latest few weeks of my regular posting has coincided with the closing of the sale of my beloved house in Maryland and simultaneous move of my family into a nice but temporary apartment in San Jose.
When I am upset at a given post, I quite often write a reply and then delete it. I send it on only when I think the post and my reply are some how interesting or important. Making fun of my bicycle is ok, but don't make fun of bicycling! I am writing a massive tome on Just This and Bike Commuting! : how to stay in the saddle while biking, or getting around town and noticing cars before they hit you.
