I find it kind of amusing that anytime anyone mentions LD it turns into a
free-for-all discussion on the merits of LD - just like we've seen here and
just like you'll find more than once in the archives

what goes around comes around I guess....

hmmm, is this because LD folks always seem to feel the need to defend their
decisions or upper distance folks are afraid the LD riders are gonna take
over "their" sport? :-)

Personally, the *only* time I have ever felt discriminated against in this
sport was at the OD 50 when a member of ride management made a public
comment that 50 milers are only riding half a ride - see, you don't even
have to doing LD to be put down :-)
