I just don't believe that people are dumb enough to possess a sincere, but poorly informed, intention of saving me from being conned by something that my own experience has already told me is worthwhile... unless they also possess the level of arrogance to believe that their experiences and sensibilities should trump my own, which is, again, the crux of the matter.
Sorry, that wasn't you who said the bitterness and envy, I lost track of where this exchange started, but I stand by the notion that snobbery is just as prevalent and obnoxious in cycling as reverse snobbery.
