In post number 8 of the other UL thread you started, you made what I would consider to be just such a remark:
"
Extra pillow? who brings even one pillow? Rolled up jacket is just as good."
There are plenty of other ones I can pull from that thread by you and others, but why bother? Not that they always apply, but most stereotypes are there for a reason, and UL evangelists in both the backpacking and bike touring communities have more than earned their reputations.
