Does anyone else get aggravated that we have members on this list who declare what other people should and shouldn't do with their bikes/parts?

I'm going to suggest that everyone talk freely about how *they* themselves like to manage their bikes and parts, and accept wholly what everyone else does with *their* bikes and parts... It feels so much less collegial to me when people follow this path.

I have bikes that I ride, and I have bikes that I hang on the wall, thank you very much. To suggest that I am somehow being delinquent in my duty as custodian of that bike by not riding it is, well... self-righteous. I feel like I do a lot for this hobby, and I hate it when I feel like I have defend my choices.
