One item of business at a time, I say!
Spelling is certainly of utmost importance, but clarity of meaning is first in my book. For example, if someone says "jo schmos peddles are the best becuz ...." and give a detailed list explaining what makes Joe Schmoe's pedals the best, that would be better than a post that says, "Joe Schmoe's pedals are the best." and nothing following it, BECAUSE the latter no real information, whereas the former will most likely answer the original poster's question.

Your post gave me warm fuzzies. Thank you for helping me fight the good fight!

Buncha noobs here foulin' up the intertubes.

Bump for good measure.

I'll go with, "It's the best because it's the only thing I've ever used, and I don't have anything to compare it to."

Shouldn't this be posted in Requests, Questions, and Bugs on this site because it's a request to better the site?

As long as you're playing the wishful thinking game here, thought I'd add some other basic newbie advice:

If you're thinking of creating a thread, don't. Somebody has already asked your question, and it's been answered by experienced riders who can write well, but who probably don't feel the need to answer it again.
Search more than once. It's there, but sometimes you have to play around with your search terms.
If you don't have anything to add to a thread, don't add.
If you were thinking of creating a poll, don't do that either.
If you want to ask what's "the best" or "your favorite", try adding a bit more detail, such as "the best for Trials riding" or "your favorite performer/competitor/Trials rider/Street rider/forum personality, etc.
Use your time here as a free opportunity to improve your writing skills. You'll get advice on that whether you asked for it or not.

Yes but isn't this Just Conversation, where anything goes? Including unicycle talk if someone wants to waste it? If it were a serious request, i.e. one where a change was expected, it would indeed be in the wrong forum.

Holy smokes! Maestro8 and johnfoss posting in the same thread?! You know what this means!

Battle to the death about correcting people!

Correctly or incorrectly?

This was a good bump, if only because it reminded us of how different this forum could've been if more people had taken maestro's suggestion seriously.

Never too late to start, is it?

1-wheeled-grape · 2009-08-19, 12:23 PM

yep it probably is... becuase I cannot be bothered to explain everything I say, because it would get tedious, because you would all get bored, because of all this tedious explanation because Maestro said so. Feel free to explain after that

and just for fun I went back to maestros first post and read it all with out reading the becauses... just shows how bored I am right now.

GILD · 2009-08-19, 01:02 PM

It gets tedious to explain what you say?
When you do so strictly and exclusively for public consumption?

That is a regrettable level of selfishness.

1-wheeled-grape · 2009-08-19, 01:15 PM

No, I was on about explaining everything, like the explanation I had just given. Thus the becuase, because, because...

Oh and I was joking too, I do usually explain what I am on about.

GILD · 2009-08-19, 02:07 PM

You can't explain your non-explanation, that ruins the joke!!?!

1-wheeled-grape · 2009-08-19, 02:25 PM

All this explanation has confused me. I preferred it where it was simple to read and understand, why do we need explanations, I'm only human
