Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Wouldn't presume to argue with you about that. It just occured to me that all the advatages really don't come down to advantages in rolling resistence, and therefore one shouldn't be complacent about marginal weight increases, though obviously the real harm of marginal weight increases is the additional weight intself, and not whether there is some additional penalty regarding one or another method of carrying it.
I just looked back at my post and it looks like I was typing with my toes!
I'm a LOT stronger rider than the wife and I routinely pull 60-100 pound loads in the trailer, so it's not really an issue with me. I appreciate what you are saying, and don't want you to think I was snarking at you.
