My experience, since you asked me specifically, is pretty similar to MParker's. I don't find it a problem to paste hanging strops but I don't see a big need for it either. I also agree that they cut a lot, fast. I like having a very fine grit as they cut quickly. I don't like to have a lot of equipment though and pasting my linen nullifies some of the usefullness of the linen to warm the edge up before stropping. The fire ash is a great compromise, it doesn't cut fast at all.
As a side note I've used pasted hanging strops and let them sag while they honed the edge (with .5 CrO) and find they did great. But they very quickly damaged the edge. I only got through about 40 passes before I ran into trouble, but before that the edge was really nice.
I think we over emphasis the damage of rolling an edge with stropping on a hanging strop OR using pressure because so many readers of a straight forum are newbies. If you let a strop sag a little and place a razor on the strop you'll see the actual strop/edge angle isn't very high as long as the spine is flat.
Given that though, I always try to keep the strop flat and taught unless there is some compelling reason not to. And I doubt a good reason would come to mind soon as I think keeping the strop taught and a light touch works, atleast with practice.
I think more people actually roll the edge by raising the spine without realizing it.
