> Steven, that was both mean and uncalled for. Please allow me to appologize. It is difficult to be polite when you're constantly being attacked by the likes of Liebermann, Flunky and Krygowski. It would be fine if these people could actually know much about bicycling but only Flunky has a passing acquaintance with modern bikes and he will scream exactly the opposite from me despite having the experience to know better.

As soon as you publish something that's right, I'll agree with you. 
FWIW, I agreed with your position on helmets, from both a safety and
