Perhaps, it's just an outbreak of "cabin
fever" or something? I love Howard's stories and have been on Ridecamp for
a long time now... I'm also guessing that those who worry about who is a
"real endurance rider" and who isn't, are amongst those who would love to be
regarded as real endurance riders. I've met some of the top riders in our
sport and am proud of the opportunity to talk to them in person. They are
busy riding and don't generally worry so much about who is a real endurance
rider.
Was going to work with horses but it's
only 9 degrees so I'm sitting here looking at a monitor instead of watching
soaps... Would really rather be RIDING!
I don't know why (in the higher sense) but Howard seems to
bring out the fanatic in some people. Tivers did the same
thing.
It's really impossible to police this list - I'm asking,
begging, puuuhhlleeeeese, control your emotions on this. Howard can pull
the heartstrings, and he can push your buttons.
You guys really need
to get a handle on your reactions - on your emotional reactions.
And
Howard, you are really tweaking Ridecamp. Don't get all huffy, you know
exactly what I mean. You can make people cheer and laugh and gasp ... can
you figure out how to keep them from taking sides and starting a holy
war?
