IOW, "I read of an anecdote." Sorry, anecdotes (or implied anecdotes)

I wonder if there are any non-polical issues where you do think an

That's not anecdotal.

Hmm. Are you sure you know the definition of the word?

"Am I qualified to talk about such things? Yes, by virtue of attending
multiple classes at various levels for each of the programs described
above. I've also acted as an editorial consultant on two well known
books dealing with those matters. I've written many articles on those
and related topics, and had some of them reprinted by publications in
other states and one other country. I no longer maintain the teaching
certification, but I've taught many cycling classes, I've written
scripts for and appeared in televised instructional spots, I've been
interviewed for newspapers and TV on such matters, and I've spoken (by
request) at city, regional and statewide gatherings."

learned
and improved by watching me. Just last night, one member took me aside
and asked me to give tips to a new member who obviously needed advice
on group riding."

I might feel honored if it were anyone more admirable...

 
 
What is so strange about 05:00? I've been getting up at 5 in the
morning for much of my life, and my grandfather got up "before day
light" as a normal "thing".

Rising early is not very strange. What's strange is Mr. Tricycle Rider's
absolute compulsive obsession with me. Snarking at my posts seems to be
one of his life's top priorities, and about 75% of his output here. It
may be 75% of his total accomplishments at this stage of his life.

It's certainly a sign of a miserable old man.

Or simply scorn for someone who posts opinion not facts.
