Why did you even bother to write such a reply? I wrote about my experience and gave my thoughts, and I made it very clear that those were the limitations. With regard to the Click'r pedals, I made it clear that I was giving an opinion based on internet images and based on my real-world experience with the M324 pedal. I expect that the person who asked the question will understand the limitations of such an opinion.

Regarding giving up clipless being the right call, that was decided when I realized that it was taking the fun out of cycling. I still felt a bit down about the idea that I was giving up on some performance, but as I mentioned, there's apparently quite a bit out there to suggest that the supposed performance benefits are overblown. Even if that weren't true, leaving clipless behind would still have been the right call for me.

If you don't think I'm a voice worth listening to, feel free not to read my posts. To call it "trolling" is a bit strange to me, but I guess some people are sensitive about those things; from where I stand, your post seems a lot like trolling (negative baiting under the guise of being an innocent, standard post). My intent in writing this thread was purely for the people who were in a situation that I was; who were curious about clipless, partly because they felt that it was the only direction to go. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the purpose of your reply was, but I'll treat it as a genuine comment for now.
