If I ever do get another bike, it'll probably be some sort of a hybrid, and I won't have a choice as to what brakes it comes with. When I have to bleed my brakes the first time, I'll be in touch.
It was completely unnecessary for you to address point a). I was just being sarcastic presenting it as a comedy choice for your mindset. But I am now looking forward to your future disc brake hybrid. What if you actually like the brakes? Are you going to be big enough to admit it? Time will tell. Or more likely we'll all be long dead before it happens.
