which is all fine and good, but threads evolve, they grow, they branch out in multiple directions, one topic leads to another, leads to another, leads to another, etc.
topic drift in a thread on an internet discussion forum is perfectly natural and happens in about 95% of all threads that sustain themselves beyond a handful of responses.
and this one hasn't been egregiously bad. we started out talking about bikes on sidewalks, and here we are 4 pages later talking about bikes on sidewalks, so.....
as for me, i just enjoy ruffling the feathers of the absolutists. can't help myself.
"thou shalt not ride a bicycle on any sidewalk, anywhere, for any reason, ever"
well, sometimes i do. and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
strike me down, lord. strike me down now with your wrathful vengeance.
