The responses to this thread on carbon forks makes me think of a book review in this week's New Yorker magazine:
http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2009/11/02/091102crbo_books_kolbert The book is "On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done". And the theme is that the Internet keeps like-minded groups together, creating a "balkanization of opinion" or a concept called "group polarization." Therefore, since most people on this list already don't like or trust carbon fiber forks, any post on the topic would further develop that dislike. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I am saying that the same video would likely produce different reactions on, say, some road cycling message board. And here's the key thing: Neither group would be wrong, per se, but both would be polarized. All hail the Internet! ========== bpus...@aol.com wrote: > OK, I'm convinced, carbon forks are better. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_O9PLorYPA > > Bill > Louisville, Ky > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
