Heh, ok, fair enough. I may well go tubeless myself, but I don't expect it to be any lighter, I mistook "light" for "lighter".

I've never met a tube yet that doesn't puncture to a thorn - if its gone through the tyre the tube is easy meat, so I'd say that's luck not the tube!.

For fair weather marathon events & races I use continental supersonic tubes and 2.1 speedking supersonic tyres, saves me almost 1lb of rotational weight, which is a bonus when you have 60-100miles ahead of you.
For training and over winter I use full fat tubes and tyres.
