How many MORC forum posters does it take to change a
tire on a mountain bike?
1 to change the tire and to post that the tire has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing tires and how the tire could have been changed
differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing tires
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about
changing tires
53 to flame the spell checkers
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "mountain bike" or "mountainbike" ...
6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the
proper term is "replacing the wheel"
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of
different tires
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and
then post the corrected URL's
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post
because they cannot handle the tire controversy
4 to suggest that posters request the tire FAQ
44 to ask what is a "FAQ"
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short
time ago?"
143 to say "do a Google search on mountain bike tires"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6
months from now and start it all over again
