: Paul,
: I have been on this web site a number of times and I always see your messages. I have nothing against people replying to every post, but you are an embarrasement to Merlin owners everywhere.
: Rather than addressing legitimate questions and concerns about Merlins you merely insult the people that have an opinion other than your own. You seem to be on some sort of a sick crusade to promote Merlins everywhere. I understand that you visited the factory. Congratulations! I have too. And I also love my Merlin, but there is a limit as to how many times you can state this on a web site. I am sick and annoyed from seeing your "I-love-my-Merlin-and-you-should-too" replies to everything, but what's worse is that you insult eveyone that does not share your views.
: You seem to be a somewhat educated man, so do youself and Merlin a favor by either keeping quiet or not coming back.

Alex, Thank You, You said what needed to be said. I have read a number of Paul's posts, cringe. I have no question he has the best intentions and is means well. Evidently he has found a bike he loves and believes in and wants to shout he joy to the world. However, I feel smothered in the kindness. Now I am losing interest in accessing this site to obtain a broad interchange of ideas as, I too am looking at or was, well still mayby the Purchase of a Merlin. Enough said, lets keep on discussing and riding.
