The comments you refer to were not made in response
to Howard's ride report. They were a reaction to some posts praising
Howard as a now-accomplished endurance rider. They were
skeptical that Howard's success at this ride (which was nice after so many
pulls) somehow proved that he now knows what he's doing (which is not
what he claimed). They were sort of bringing the cheerleaders down to
earth.
Too bad that Howard was so tickled with all the
praise that he too failed to make this distinction.

Oh.... yet another unwritten "rule" as to what
it takes to become a "REAL" endurance rider. From the tone of the
emails below, I would assume that being unbearably condescending is also
absolutely essential.
Fortunately this sort of superior attitude is the
exception, rather than the rule, on rc.
We should all applaud
everyone's successes! There is NO need to rain on ANYONE'S
parade!
