It's a classic inferiority complex. Somebody is slightly different in their tastes, preferences or beliefs, therefore he's afraid they're _better_ than he is, so to counter-act that, he has to belittle and disdain those differences. It's the only way he can hold his head up in public. "I think/do it, therefore it _must_ be the best way".

Thankfully very rare. I have no wish to work for anal retentive push bike riders, who would probably be to tight to afford my services anyway. No argument left, insults instead. -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist

Clue: Somebody in the Medway Towns sees your (presumably signwritten) van - or maybe just decides they need a handyman service. They google for "Medway Handyman". They find a couple of alternatives in the first couple of results. They think "Ooh, I'll look a bit further through, see if there's any comments on the quality of their work". What do you think starts on page 2 of the google results? Yep, your usenet postings.

Good job I have a clean licence then isn't it? Oh sorry, you wouldn't understand 'licence' would you, not needing one to be a freeloading unregulated cyclist. -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist
