You didn't piss me off at all. I just jumped into the middle of a thread that has been going on for a while, that I had read a few of the comments days ago and dismissed the thread as a waste of time. I don't even know what you were posting, other than to suggest that clearly off topic posts were marginally ok (at least with you). I quickly looked at the thread a few minutes ago, and noticed a few people bemoaning that the thread was still going on. So I just threw in my 2 cents worth. It was not directed at you. I just responded to the KLR list as a whole. It was probably a little snippy, but most people don't have time to prepare a carefully worded post that won't offend anyone, yet get their message out. (In the same vein, I always laugh at the do-gooders that always seem to be present to correct other peoples' grammar and spelling) This is a common problem on any list, as well as spam. In general, clearly way off topic threads are allowed to go on for a while, and then the posts begin to get nasty to get people to stop. At some point the admin drops the posters from the list. The red comment was just a bad joke due to the fact the thread in general was of a political nature, and that the color red seems to be popular with the communists. Nothing more. My race car is red.

I have a seemingly new small Suomy helmet but it says Ducati on it in white. It is black silver white. I would like to trade for a medium. Something similar condition and quality. My GF bought this excellent helmet that appears and smells like it never has been used; but it is too small for her. The quality of it seems as good or better than my Shoei. So, I would prefer to trade. I am in SoCal. Jeffrey nakedwaterskier@...
