Subject: Re: GROW THE F--- - UP, BYKER BOB!!



Matthias, Ned,Janet and family, and the @ list,

A while ago there were many comments about the new Honda, was it as 
good as the @, was it going to replace the @, what was going to happen 
to our @ in the long term. These emails became so frequent comments 
were made to stop sending them, as this was a list for the africa twin 
model only.

Then along comes a guy who joins the list as an enthusiast, no sooner 
as he joined than he sends out to all his new friends a money making 
scheme. A scheme I alleged was based on pyramid selling. In the UK an 
awful lot of people have lost large sums of money through people 
offering such schemes.

I was deliberately blunt in my reply to Ned, my intention was to stop 
other people reading our list and then joining the list and bombarding 
us with junk email. To read emails about the @ I personally don't want 
to read through reams of junk. 

Matthias I don't understand the logic behind your reply to my email, 
are you saying its not ok to discuss the new Honda, but it is ok to 
use the list to send junk emails?

Matthias, you tell me to use private email addresses to make a reply. 
But Ned you send an email onto the list for everyone to see that's 
entitled "grow the f**k up, bykerbob". If you want to make a reply 
about what I did, why not send it directly to me? In any email I have 
sent I haven't used or implied any form of swearing. My alleged 
bottled up anger must be nothing compared to yours, if you feel you 
must send an email that starts in such a way. As for "I SUGGEST you 
watch your language BYKER BOB, we all have families" is that some form 
of threat?

As I said in my reply to Ned, if he is an enthusiast and wants to 
become involved and talk and ride the @ he is more than welcome. I am 
a biker, not a racist, I will ride with anyone regardless of his or 
her nationality, creed, colour, or religion, any biker is a brother.

To the Matthias and the @ list I apologise for sending this to 
everyone, but I felt I must make a reply.

To Ned and family, if you have been deeply and personally offended by 
my original reply, that was not my intention. My intention was to stop 
the list being used for junk email. If you and your family have been 
personally offended then I unreservedly apologise.

If everyone is now happy, I will leave you in peace. I will say no 
more.

Bykerbob.
