I have absolutely no qualifications on these topics, zero, zippo. I don't know if what you say is right, wrong, or otherwise. I do know you have a history of making assertions, often very technical or requiring significant education, that ultimately are either wrong or totally unsupported.

Pardon me for making this observation about your latest reply, but the portion of your quotation that I have highlighted in red is a blatant example of a self contradictory statement. :shakeshead:

This thread is getting as worn out as an LZR that's been through 20 swims and it's a sure bet that the USMS webmaster is thinking "ENOUGH OF THIS C_ _ _ ALREADY!!!". :rant3:
So this will be my last comment (on this particular subject at least) and I wish everyone happy swimming. :whiteflag: :whiteflag: :whiteflag:
