This Vandeman guy was first brought to my attention a couple years ago. Namely a web-buddy of the 4wd type clued me into him. Basically your standard over-educated arrogant jerk with no constructive hobbies, stuck in a job determined to be "vastly beneath him." This link may be outdated. http://www.plain.net/~rbor/mjvande/ According to my friend: there's a true lunatic on a newsgroup i check (rec.backcountry), this guy wants pure wilderness everywhere and takes every opportunity to attack mountainbikers that he can. he has had several isp's cancel his accounts for abuse; he levels some immature personal attacks; his neighbor posted notes that the guy wants all cars in the bay area "bombed" because his cat ran into the street and got run over; and he fabricates science. the guy is a PHD and 35-yr programmer at pacbell! the bike crowd even built a "michael vandemann, phd" page to expose him. he is a poster child for pure idiocy and blind allegiance to a cause. i encourage you to check out that ng, very entertaining (the mtb groups are a hoot too, can't wait til he comes over >to >>rec.autos.4x4).
