I've posted a few questions over at the Motion Based forums. (MB is a web-based software platform for GPS devices, primarily Garmin.) The folks over there, admins in particular, are very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. But I was surprised by one thing. In one of my posts, I said the following:

Well, the reason I want to do this is that the uncorrected elevation data from my Forerunner is craptacular...

Or was it craptastic? Anyway, when I checked back in later, I had several helpful replies, but my original post had been edited to read:

Well, the reason I want to do this is that the uncorrected elevation data from my Forerunner is {not good}

At the bottom of the post, the admin had added, "Edited for language." I'm glad they want to keep their boards clean, but I thought this was a bit much. A lot too much, frankly. I'm glad that RA users police themselves while not stifling free speech to the point that the board becomes sucktacularly crapulous.

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

guess they are sensitive about people describing their product in non-flattering ways.

Sorry Joe, I couldn't resist!

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

And the above posts (and unauthorized edits of posts) are the reason we keep coming back to RA!

Sorry, meant to say "craptacular." Jeff, you're craptacular. Wait, that sounds like a compliment! Anyway, keep up the posting over there and keep enlightening us. Smile
