HI,
Just to let you know that I have used some content from this forum on my website. It’s mostly the most unusual comment from non-riders and rider quotes, that sort of thing. I also want to hunt down all the replies to have you lost your other wheel but haven’t done that yet.
If you want to object to any of your stuff being there, then feel free. I’ll probably even take it off. It is in the unicycling section of my website (below). Mostly on the Missing Wheel page.
Cheers.
Cathy
the one you have from me (it takes twice the man to ride half the bike) I didn’t actually come up with that…it’s been around for quite a while, and you can even get a T-shirt with that quote on it from unicycledotcom. so you can of course leave the quote on your site, but you just ought to change who it’s by. (:
Greg Harper came up with “It takes twice the man to ride half the bike” quote. Well actually it was a comment he got while out riding so he didn’t actually come up with it, he just popularized it.
You can publish anything I write for $2 per word, payable in Tom Miller 12 guage coker spokes.
Half off for anything you only hear me say.
What would anyone do with half a coker spoke? 
Loose
Build a trials uni, maybe?
One on One, can you do that?
Would anyone like to claim ownership or is it lost in the midst of time?
Cathy
Look 5 posts up or 1 below James’ original post on the matter.

The “You’ve Lost A Wheel!” Automatic Retort Generator is standing by!

Or hear you mumble.
Get a new phone, so I can hear something you say. Then I could get you a spoke or two. Wait, does the mumble comment mean I owe you a spoke? 
No, but since you quoted me, you owe me.
Re: Re: use of content on my website
That is so cool.
Can I link to it?
No point in re-inventing the wheel.

I believe there are a few people on these fora that would disagree with you 
maestro8 posted this in MR Thread, and I thought it was a pretty cool quote. I stole it for you so you wouldn’t have to, here
Very kind.
It’s on the site.

Of course. I notice you’ve added another one… the more the merrier!

Re: Re: use of content on my website
That thing is awesome!!
We originally did something with that in about 1981, and article in the USA Newsletter called “Snappy Comebacks to Stupid Remarks.” It was a long list of responses to “Where’s your other wheel?” There have been many lists over the years since then, to that and other questions. I like the fact that this automator works with my old question as well.

Was it a computer program or just an article?
If it was a program, it had to be a mainframe program, didn’t it? (In 1981, PCs were still 3 years away, and the internet was some 15 years away.)
Re: Re: Re: Re: use of content on my website
In 1981, the USA Newsletter was a small stack of paper with black ink on it and a staple in the corner. Since then, we have moved to 11 x 17 paper, folded in half, with two or three staples. Also glossy paper, but the ink is still black only.
Actually IBM came out with theirs in 1981. You must be thinking of the Macintosh. There were some things people call PCs before that, but most of the industry seems to consider the IBM product from '81 the birth of the PC. Certainly the Tech Museum in San Jose, where my company built a big timeline display for the 20th anniversary of the PC in 2001.

Don’t tell that to the Commodore PET and TRS-80 that I played with back in '80. The Apple ][ and Apple ][+ were also available by '79 or so. In '81 the Mac was still about 3 years away so I’ll give you that.
Back then we saved files on a cassette tape and connected to bulletin board systems at about 300 baud using an acoustic coupler modem. It would have certainly been possible to write a similar automatic retort generator as a feature in a BBS back then.
