Best to consider the source in evaluating a comment or remark. Patrick is a (rightly) respected member of this group (Kelly, too, for that matter); to me, at least, that would argue for opting for the more constructive of two competing interpretations.
But there's a world of difference between modestly edgy comments (perfectly acceptable to me, including a comment that one doesn't care how tubes are connected) and the sort of flaming which is blessedly absent from this forum. I think we mostly know it when we see it. ________________________________ From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bernard Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 11:20 AM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: Roadeo or RB1? I think coming to the Riv forum to state you don't care about how the tubes are connected; or how good it looks; is ever so slightly "baiting". The fact that the Roadeo is meticulously designed, built, painted, and ends up gorgeous..is at least half of what you're paying for. Nobody buys a Rivendell simply because it "handles better".
