Sep 5, 2001 11:12 AM | | Gregg did respond down on the infamous "Go-ride pleas refrain from..." thread below so please lets all read his response before responding.
Just trying to keep the communication lines open and in sequence.

Sep 5, 2001 11:35 AM | | ...which is why I was unable to post a response right away. And the #1 topic in the meeting?? What is engineering doing to increase the cripplingly slow load time.

Sep 5, 2001 12:03 PM | | I have seen scott@go-ride chime in many a time offering the best deals on forks etc.. to people asking questions about products. people ask questions and many times Scott says, yes its a good product and I have them in stock right now. call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or email me at xxx@go-ride.com. Regardless of any "old boys club" things we may or may not have going here, if a newcomer came in and did this we would all shell him or her, would we not? Of course we would! Scott seems like a good guy, but if he wants to advertize he should pay for a banner like the rest of the companies do. Thats just my personal opinions on it all. |

Sep 5, 2001 12:16 PM | | "Scott says, yes its a good product and I have them in stock right now. call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or email me at xxx@go-ride.com..." You're missing the last part of his posts: call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or email me at xxx@go-ride.com FOR MORE INFORMATION. I will admit that this certainly looks and probably is a kind of advertizing BUT he's still helping the person who's asking and that's what counts. I think that Gregg as to draw a line somewhere as to where he should allow "self-promoting" but I think scott sets a REALLY good example of what should be allowed.

Sep 5, 2001 12:04 PM | | Face it Rhino, Gregg made a huge mistake by opening his mouth. Managers MANAGE things, not ruin them. Gregg is helping to RUIN mtbr.
Sorry gregg, nothing against you as a person, just the fact that this site is starting to suck since you became so "hand's on".
Wish it wasn't so..... |
| Stop being so bitter you grouchy hermit! | Acadian

| Sorry Dexter! Er, um, eh....that was one of the all time.... | Zonic Man
Sep 5, 2001 12:13 PM | | Classics! hey, heard around the rumour mill Dex is hanging out on the evil board. Killer! Maybe Dave is going to hook him up and give him a frame just like the canfield brothers were going to sponsor him! |
| i dont even know the evil website address | dexter
Sep 5, 2001 1:33 PM | | so screw you hermit |

Sep 5, 2001 12:26 PM | | Gregg's response.
In my post above I didn't point fingers it was just an attempt at cutting the beating about non-responses after he did in the thread below. Kind of like hosing a riot trying to dispurse the crowd...mob mentality, aint it great?
I did however voice my opinion in support of Scott and his lack of SPAM type posts. Chek it owt......it'z gud reed'n.
RhInO fRoM wA:o) |
| yeah, sorry I sound like a choad, but... | gregg
Sep 5, 2001 12:27 PM | | ...unfortunately one of my roles here lately seems to be the "bad cop" roll.
BTW, Jed, I know it's nothing personal. I picked that up from our phone discussion. Forrest and John like ridin' w/you and PJ was sorry that you didn't go to Downieville the same weekend he did.
Wish it wasn't so too... |
| There is one thing I know you know about me..... | Zonic Man
Sep 5, 2001 1:47 PM | | I like to stir the pot and open up discussion.
That is why I post such bold stuff constantly. Total shitstirer i am. Try to be a bit provacative, and say what I am thinking. In person or on the phone I tend to temper my thoughts.
And why I called you to express my concerns personally, calling you at your office and all.
I love you guys over there (that I know) but at the same time I don't want to see this kind of stuff happening on this board.
I am hoping for a d-ville ride soon too. You know why I did not go? Broken bike on my 'break in' ride. ouch.
I think MTBR is hurting more right now than before. Things are happening, and not for the best.
And Gregg, glad you did call scott personally. However, you f-ed up in the first place saying anything about it.
Later dude, all the best
