I got a storm of emails about the lights issue.  Let me remind:  I stated we only have one report, and it seems it was a warning, not a ticket.  The reason I asked for reporting on any further incidents is to see if this is becoming standard practice, not to suggest that it already is.

There is much disagreement about whether or not one should blink or "steady state" on the front lamp.  After noticing some blinky front lamps on the way home from "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in the movie theatre last night (awesome film btw), my feeling, as I head out into the darkened dawn for a ride, is that if your lights are super bright (over 300 lumens/rechargeable), or your batteries super fresh, you are probably better off in steady state.

At any rate, I enjoyed all of your colorful comments.  It takes one to know one, but we certainly are a wordy bunch of creatures.

Keep the Rubber Side Down,

James
