I'm confused, Wolfgang.  Why SHOULDN'T she tell Ridecamp?  Tom is discussing
issues that are of interest to Ridecampers, and has had a rather
checkerboard history on Ridecamp, so I would suspect that Angie might have
figured that Ridecampers might be interested in what Mr. Ivers might be
saying about their sport elsewhere.  I doubt that Angie's biggest concern
was whether Mr. Ivers might read her post (although undoubtedly his minions
who DO remain on Ridecamp have forwarded it to him), but rather that other
endurance riders be aware of what Mr. Ivers is trying to peddle elsewhere.
