This is renowned as the most anti-motorist newsgroup. Many have slagged off the ABD on here without me mentioning it first. I wanted to know what they didn't like about the ABD. The lack of any kind of justification of such a stance confirms to me that those on here who dislike like the ABD do indeed do so because they hate cars. It's just one more topic in which the motorist-haters and their lies have been humiliatingly exposed.
