I don't get this at all. A hybrid can run the spectrum of being more road-oriented or more off-road oriented, and still BE a hybrid. It makes no more sense to say that those who want a faster hybrid should just get a road bike than it does to say that those who want suspended forks on their hybrid should just get a mountain bike. The whole point of a hybrid is to bridge the gap - at any number of different points - between those two extremes.
