on the heels on last weeks' 'box' thread... i think making light of this auction (colnago on ebay) and the seller is in the same vein as passing judgement on buying an empty box. a beautiful empty box, at that. clearly, this isn't a colnago. with haden concorde lugs and all these other non-colnago features. this frame likely has never been out of north america. but taking time to opine on it, (as i, too, am doing here), is no different than all the other threads that have/had a 'he said, she said' tone to them. i'm not posing a question, nor looking for a reply. but ragging on anyone/anything on the lists' time lowers the bar of quality that i thought we were trying to uphold. on one hand, i'm always interested in some good gossip and melodrama. on the other hand i thought the list guidelines 'ruled' against speaking against someone or something without hearing from all parties involved, ala this fake-hetchins thread, for instance. this is dale's party. we're all guests. are we permitted to dish on occassion (sp?), or not? my choice would be to allow a little hypocrisy followed by the occassional 'tail-between-the-legs' apologies and clarifications once the real stories come out. otherwise, we should all respect the list guidelines and keep the hearsay and snickers to ourselves. p.s. this is no colnago. e-RICHIE apologies for the rant.
