No he didn't. That idea popped out of your imagination - or perhaps some
other orifice.

 
Of courae, that is why he told me the average speed of an e-bike and then said "wow!"
 
Frank, why did you post?

Like Jeff, when I remark on your posts it's mostly to call attention to
your mistakes and your general nonsense.

Thanks.  Helping Tom demonstrate his incompetence is fairly easy.  For
the amazing facts provided by Tom, those that can be easily researched
with a search engine or fact check web site, almost all the facts are
in some way defective.  If I feel the need to practice my critical
thinking, debunking Tom's consistently erroneous claims are easy.  I
don't trust my memory, so I research my comments and provide links for
those who want sources and details.  Oddly, my efforts to introduce
facts and honesty to Tom's claims has resulted in me spending time to
research topics that I would typically ignore.  For example, today Tom
claimed that president Clinton imposed LARGE tariffs on unspecified
countries.  I couldn't recall exactly what Clinton did, so I did some
digging.  I soon found that Clinton had threatened Japan with tariffs,
but never imposed them.  However, I also discovered that the
involvements of presidents G.W.H Bush, Obama and Clinton with NAFTA
and trade agreements was a moving target and a big mess:

I would never have known this had Tom not created some mistakes for me
to find and expose.

I don't consistently flag your
nonsense; I let almost all your nonsense slide by, in part because
others do a fine job of commenting, and I have other activities that are
more important to me.

Same for me.  When I started commenting on very sentence that Tom
writes, Tom retaliated by adding additional false claims.  When I
noticed that I was burning far too much time debating with Tom, I
began to be more selective.

But as usual, you're lying about what others have said. If you were not
lying about Zen's statement, you could give a direct link to his post
and prove your point.

(Well, _perhaps_ you could do that. It may be beyond the capability of a
man who can't properly follow a valid URL.)

I try to provide links to web pages and documents that generally
contradict Tom's amazing claims.  Providing links to Usenet articles
is far more difficult.  The problem is that articles on Google Groups
ended on Feb 22, 2024.  Anything later than that require the use of
other sources.  I'm currently using NovaBBS and NArkive.com
<https://www.novabbs.com/tech/thread.php?group=rec.bicycles.tech>
<https://rec.bicycles.tech.narkive.com>
Unfortunately, Google Groups search appears to be broken.  I don't
want to go into detail now.  Let me just say that I have problems
finding articles that I know are on Google Groups, but where Google
Groups Search engine can't seem to find them.

What I've done in self defense is to build a list of quotes that are
likely to appear in future discussion.  Using a text search of my list
is much easier than trying to find things with Google Groups Search
and others.
