Looks like John decided to let everyone know your opinion and his opinion of it.

I guess I'll have to wait until I get my copy......

Funny thing is I thought we'd got it all worked out, we actually had a civil email exchange. Can you give me the cliff note version?

I don't have it in front of me, but basically he reprinted your email. Then he replied with something along the lines of "there was 2.5 inches of column space out of 98 that referenced bloody tire pressures, if you're that irrational on that point, it explains the rest of the email." <- I'm completely paraphrasing here as I don't have it right now. Then, the next 4 letters are letters that all complement CU on his stories about the 848 and the Jordan Bike. They are titled something like "848 and the Jordan Suzuki I-IV" (starting with yours).

lol, I guess I got my 15 minutes (or is that seconds?) of fame. My letter was supposed to be a humorous, tongue in cheek look at Chris's writing style which (in those articles at least) was totally unenthusiastic and flat.

Looks like he told me.

ouch just read it

He geeks out with some publishing lingo about column inches and then calls out your reading comprehension skills. I don't believe he found your email humorus.

You've been served! [cheeky]

PS What happened to the original thread? I noticed it disappeared a day after it started.

Er no, I deleted it out of respect to John as he and I were unhappy about seeing his boy being bashed here (which I wasn't involved in BTW). I'd told him in an email that I thought some of the guys had gone too far and it was getting out of hand.

As I said earlier I thought everything was cool, but I guess there is no honor amongst thieves.

Would you care to see the emails we sent each other?

i don't mean you deleted it to keep him from responding. just that you deleted it before he could respond. i only say that because he asked me where the post went.

Ok, my apologies. I'm a little taken aback that John STILL took a swipe at me even after I thoroughly explained my letter and that I wasn't disrespecting his boy.......
