Meanwhile, the bikes I'm trying to sell now that I know what I want aren't moving and neither is the entire bicycle industry but you wouldn't know that because you haven't made an investment in bicycle parts for 20 years. Is that because on a teacher's pay you couldn't afford to?

:-)  First, it's false that I haven't made an "investment" in bike parts
in 20 years. I simply haven't told you what I've bought.

But since you use the term "investment," care to tell us how your bike
buying and selling "investments" have worked out? I recall nothing but
reports on your many purchases and your subsequent complaints about
nothing selling.

Well. In about 12 years, after moving into a large and beautiful home,
she has filled her basement with "stock," plus her large garage and
other storage spaces. It's obvious the inflow is far greater than the
outflow. And her long-suffering husband has complained to me about the
thousands of dollars he spends per year to support his wife's "business."

:-)  I have never encountered anyone so totally baffled by the idea of a
_discussion_ group!

I have never before encountered anyone with such a need to stick their
noses into other people business, ask for personal information, and
give unsolicited advice.

Also:

I have never before encountered anyone who so fervently believes that
personal anecdotes are something of value.
