David-

You are basically describing diving with independant doubles, a 
horrifying practice which is still championed by you Brits and other 
Europeans.

But I understand that a Hogarth revolution is taking place over there, 
much to the dismay of the ID (stroke) crowd. I hope you all don't get 
stuck on tradition over there.

By the way, what you describe below scares the bejeezus out of me. Are 
you sure you worded this correctly?

   Jim
