I was just telling my wife the other day that this C&V subforum casts a sustaining bright light on humanity. Here lies a group of thousands of people who have generally not met in person (though I know strong friendships have been made here), who genuinely care enough to help others, and who even support the concept of shipping bike parts around in a box to the next stranger, even adding parts to it! Few internet forums operate like this one, especially the C&V subforum.
The social experiment is working.
