For a thread that is supposed to be dead it does seem to have a lot of followers. I found this and a few other threads/sources by googling "panniers vs. trailers", (@ seeker333, I'm familiar with google, thanks) and in spite of the age of these threads I was able to gain a lot of insight.

Regarding the staleness of the thread - I wasn't aware that there was a protocol re. posting to old threads. My thinking was that if a new thread were started every time a question came up - one that had already been discussed at length at some date in the past, there would be an insurmountable pile of old threads that one would have to wade through to get a particular bit of info. Imagine if new wikipedia entries were created every time new info was added to an existing topic that had sat idle for awhile- there would be dozens if not hundreds of redundant pages on a single topic floating around, each one incomplete and at varying degrees of obsolescence.
