Richard, two things, first, that stupid PGP signature is like a butt light - 
eveidence of a stroke. Two, anyone who has the balls to use the equipment the 
way I do I will take responsabilty for. That should be a safe bet, no? It is a 
safe bet because that is what I am doing right now with WKPP - taking 
responsabilty, something you instructors should think about when you are 
recommending blatent strokery.

  What do you tell your students, when they find out that you guys are strokes, 
and they ask you , "Why did you teach me to be a stroke when the pros do it so 
differently?". What so you say? That once upoon a time one of these strokes 
actually went diving and did somehting, pathetic thought it may be, but that
you 
dhave heard of no diving since that time?
