HA:
I for one, don't feel like you have been preachy. I don't quite know how you manage without actually working in a ski shop, but you have a lot of knowledge about a lot of gear.  I enjoy that as a resource, and all I hear is reasonable suggestions presented respectfully.
As an example, your comment about the carbon spine made perfect sense once you mentioned it. Shimano Ultegra carbon pedals use "short fiber" carbon, the top-line Dura Ace uses longer fiber carbon. Neither is bad, but only one is their top tier (and 20% more expensive) product.
So reasonable reminder that their are various 'carbons'.
