Since Letsrun has recently morphed into Dyestat I thought I might add this: the listserve is for grownups only! (they should have kicked me off years ago). The crowd imcludes coaches, officials, journalists, agents, athletes and all of them fans of the sport. Many of the lurkers are legends of the sport. Although most of you kids don't who's lurking at Letsrun. Hint: EVERYONE.

If you have to ask if you belong at the listserve, you don't! Pull the Dyestat shit there and you'll be booted quickly. Just a friendly reminder.

Carry on.

Malmo, you oughta chill out on the DyeStat bashing. Sure the average age of posters there is obviously younger; yeah, it's AIMED at high schoolers and younger. But you also see TONS of good posts and discussions, and the total volume of posts is many times this board and the listserve combined.

And yeah, the listserv might be more "grown up", but I've read pages of bickering and petty arguments over the years on that list that aren't any better than the spam on DyeStat and here.

Can't you make your point without needless bashing? If you (or anyone else) want to know who I am and why I'm writing this to you, send me an e-mail.

malmo, you are giving in to unnecessary flattery of this board with the implied progression from the rungrotesheif days....

"Grown ups" translated.

All of the people who wonder what happened to screw up a once popular sport don't belong. The "grown ups" who were there to screw it up first hand need an enclave without being challenged by any novel ideas or new blood. Pretentious, megalomaniacal fat bastards who use athletes' money to eat hot dogs and watch the runners whom they have stolen from. These are the "grown ups" included on list serve. If you actually have run a 100 mile week in the last five years and pay your own way to meets, you probably don't belong.

Can anyone say AAU?

malmo:

big fan of yours. until today. i've never posted anything that wasn't inquisitive or informative...or at least conversational

i've seen some of your rants over on that list, (vs. McLatchie or whomever it might have been)...

i make a post about once or twice a week...hardly rising to the level, volume-wise or content-wise, of Dystat "shit"

chill man

finally, i would only like to second malmo's caveat - and suggest that the qualifying comments appeared to be more of a general statement and not any personal indictment. any morphing occurred despite many of the best efforts of numerous positive and constructive contributors.
