Lets keep this on reasonably friendly terms. 1) If you want advice on brake pads, you don't need to comment. Just think, 'right, I have a smooth/light ground/heavy ground rim, and I want pads that are bitey/not too bitey and have good hold.' And in the review someone will tell you. So then you read the comments and figure out which people seem the most positive about, and go for that one. 2) Lol 3) Like I said, friendly terms. I'm reasonable. What I meant is, either that you weren't making your own opinions about me, which is foolish, or that you're doing something wrong for the purposes of getting validated.
