except you haven't seen me at an endurance ride because you refuse to go
to one.


 I won't be riding your endurance rides.  It's not my cup o' tea.

I've never worked cows. But I've got some great ideas on how you could be
improve your ability to work cows.  I know they're great ideas because
I've ridden lots of miles of endurance and have learned much.

What...you inherited the writings of Xenophon or what? All knowledge was
thrown into a funnel and you're at the bottom?

Good, I can get away with this and not worry about you being mad at me if
we ever meet.

Shades of ti.  Wonder if we're all barred from his mailing list?

Just for the record. If there are any new subscribers out there
today...don't judge ridecamp or endurance riders on what you've read in
the last 48 hours.  Sometimes I read these posts and think...have I ever
been to one of these rides?  Where are all the rude riders I hear
about...I have people falling all over themselves to be helpful and
polite.  Where are all the horrible riders?  I see worse at horse shows. 
Sure we're not perfect by any means, but I don't know any other group
more dedicated to learning and trying to do their best for their horses
and kind to each other.
