Moved onto a much better-paying job :-))

It's hard to be passionate about concentrated frozen orange juice,
though, isn't it?
And it's difficult to start an online argument concerning that
subject.
But even the most humble, out-of-production commuter bike is grist for
your mill.

Oh, indeed. Very nice when you and your team manage to scoop the world
with stories that are then picked up by news agencies and publications
around the globe. Even nicer when your salary reflects your ability to
manage a team that can do that.
And I can still indulge myself with bikes when I feel the urge.
Remind me, what job is it that you haven't got?

Well, you're trying your best.

Um, I don't think I'm arguing here, am I? Despite your best attempts
:-))
I will buy and ride just about anything I fancy. I like all bikes, with
one or two notable exceptions: Russian two-strokes and Honda CB500Ts.[1]
Face it - you're just a bitter old man who gets ticked off when your
so-called technical advice is exposed as useless. :-)
[1] Really sorry about that. I'd love to say that any and every bike is
fun, and even I can kindle enthusiasm for old Commie machinery like
Jawas and MZs and Ural/Dnepr flat twins, but there are limits.
