Dave,

Might have been directed more at me; I kinda posted my thoughts on the
subject.  Didn't mean to get anyone's dander up all that much.

|expertise switch wheels, just as do some who just want to, perhaps because
|others have.  But all this confuses me.  I retain my right to be confused,
|just as I respect other's rights to behave differently than I do.  I do
|hope that all those who make changes are doing so within reasonable safety
|limits, for example regarding tire diameters and braking capacity.
