I hope you are just trying to make a joke.

EDIT: It is also dangerous to mix socks.

Well then think about my statement...how would mixing rotors and brake systems invalidate health insurance coverage?

If that's not obvious enough...I've run Hayes, Avid, Magura, Shimano, and Aztec rotors on a mixture of brakes and I'm still alive to tell about it.

That's a laughably stupid defense of Petey's ******baggery.

And your people skills on this forum are a shining example of maturity and sensitivity? You've insinuated Bruce is stupid, You called Pete a ******bag, and yet it's Pete who is the scourge of the forum? Your eye protection must be rose colored.

Multi-lens, actually. They're amber now since it's rainy.

But no, that doesn't make me the dee-bag. Knowing more than the average weekend rider is no excuse for being nasty. And, as we've already established, he doesn't know much more than the average weekend rider. So the point is, how does one say, moot?

I think he's short and to the point, thin skinned types take this to be "nasty". As for what "we've" established, again this is your prespective. I don't feel that way at all.
