It is your posts on this thread that I am referencing.
Seems to me that you are posting comments about what you think is the improper use of mirrors based on what you can or can not see reflected in the mirrors of bicycles being ridden by other people, and your apparent view that the lack of an overt physical or verbal reaction to your presence may be a result of other bicyclists' inability to use a mirror properly.

So your reading comprehension is lacking. I stated that I am surprised that people use mirrors, then when I call out or ring my bell, they don't realize that there is someone approaching from behind seeing they have mirrors. Pretty simple to understand. Not sure why you think it is a me issue. It isn't. It's a why don't they use their mirror issue. Please don't get yourself banned again trying to cause friction out of something that is not there. ;)

Gosh, chill and get over it.

+1 for Take-A-Look mirror. I wear a helmet and prescription sunglasses too and they work great. There are three things I always wear when riding, every-single-time:
1. Helmet
2. Gloves
3. Take-A-Look mirror

I'm not on the road much, mostly paved/hardpack trails and use the Cateye BM-45:

It's unobtrusive, doesn't block my peripheral vision and works for my purposes. I have it on the left side but may get another for the right. I think if I were road riding more I may take a look at the Take-A-Look. :)
