very good point, so we're going to stop doing it. I don't know how or why
the CM list got on MassBike's list of lists, but I'm certainly not one to keep
doing something just because that's how it was done in the past. If anyone
on the CM list would like to sign up directly to be on our email list, please go
here: <A
href="http://massbike.org/gather/">http://massbike.org/gather/</A>. I hope
some of you will want to stay up-to-date with what we're doing, but I'll leave
it up to you. And please let me know if you think there is something
MassBike should be working on that we're not.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

those of you new to the list, a little background:<BR><BR>Mass bike and
Critical Mass are not the same.<BR><BR>The overlap between the two consists
of the following - CM complaints about<BR>Mass Bike get aired on this
list. Mass Bike complaints about CM get aired <BR>on this
list. A couple (past?) members of the Mass bike board ride
CM.<BR><BR>The general vibe that I get after years of monitoring this list,
is that CM<BR>methods are contrary to Mass Bike. This is amusing,
because they use our <BR>list. It is also amusing, because our
(CM) methodology only consists of a<BR>time and a place.<BR><BR>There are
many posters to the list that no longer ride CM because of CM's<BR>ununified
behaviour born from the methodology. <BR><BR>So, since we are complaining
about Mass Bike, and I like to be amused, I<BR>have the
following: When has Mass Bike succesfully gathered 150 bikers
who<BR>generally didn't know each other in advance? And, who also
didn't show up <BR>with their bikes on a car mounted bike
rack.<BR><BR>Debate and flame away party people
