Woah! Nellie! While it's true that I am 70 years old, and while it's true that I am closing out a number of products so as to simplify my life in my dotage, I am most definitely not retiring any time soon since I like doing what I'm doing. These days I'm concentrating on German bicycle lighting, and some French drive train products that interest me. So, you're all going to be stuck with me for a while. I hope you're OK with that. ;-)
I shut down the Bicycle Lifestyle group because it was essentially dead. Almost all of the pending postings in the past two years were from people who joined an hour or so earlier and posted that they had a bike or some component to sell, and that had been strictly forbidden from the start. So instead of having interesting posts to read, and occasionally responding to, I was doing little more than banning people from the forum for violating the rules. I'm a lover, not a banner.
