Your point was completely irrelevant to the conversation.
Uh, you made a completely and wildly incorrect statement—"The rear is bolt on so that you can secure the wheel, so it won't slide in the drop out, and I guess they have the front the same so that it matches."—and I corrected you. Irrelevant how?

Whether you were just plain wrong or just phrased things in a wrongish manner, it's still worth noting that track nuts are more about tradition than securing the wheel, especially given that the OP seemingly has an interest in quick-release.
