Personal tracking threads
When it was only one person setting up their own "My Daily Rides" thread, it wasn't such a big deal.
But now that there are at least three such personal threads, in at least two fora, it's getting annoying. Is there some way to set up a "Your rides go here" forum to localize these?
(And what's wrong with a spreadsheet, notebook, or calendar; or one of the sites that exists to show off, I mean log, a person's rides?)

they put mine in bloggers and it seems out of the way there. I write what I want and no one bugs me :-)

Who'da thunk of such a thing? A thread just for ME!
If I started one of those things, would I still be allowed to post in the 50+ Did You Ride Today?
I'd call mine: Did I ride today?

How far does the if it annoys you don't read it go. When 35 people have their private threads does this mean that I will have to scroll through three pages of private crap to find the current public threads. This is especially troublesome noting that there already is a mileage thread that close to a hundred individuals see fit to use. What makes this one new poster so damn special that he gets a private spot??
THE WORST PART OF IT IS THAT THIS POSTER HAS NOT EVEN SEEN FIT TO CONTRIBUTE THE WHOPPING NICKEL A DAY THAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A SUPPORTING, CARING MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY. THAT, AT THE VERY LEAST, SHOULD BE A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A PRIVATE THREAD.
WHAT THE HELL IS MY YELLOW JERSEY----A SNOT RAG?

Not an issue for me at all. I just skip over those threads. I wasn't even aware they existed.
What's the problem?

I've only noticed one, so far. Thought it was curious that someone would do that.
