[NMCycling] bike shop sales and such

[Cliff Loucks via Bike-racers]

No, I totally disagree with that, Chad.

I'm on Sports Systems' email list and any store that wants can create 
and maintain their own list.  Those that want to get their email 
advertising can subscribe to those lists.  I created this list to 
announce races and rides.  Not as a medium for direct advertising.  As I 
pointed out, my opinion is that things happening at local stores are 
generally of interest, so a mention from a someone is fine with me.  
Besides it give me fodder to tease them with.

I pay SouthWest CyberPort $5.00/month to host this list for us.  Big 
deal.  Why am I still doing it since I quit racing several years back?  
Simply because no one, like NMBRA has taken it on.  I do not moderate it 
so it's really not much headache for me.  There are typically a 100-150 
bounces/month from the list that end up in my spam filter (spam posting 
from non-subscribers).  Big deal.  It's not in my way.

Pardon me while I go see if I remember how to ride a bike,
--Cliff
