Steve, Steve, Just exactly when did it become your job to decide when we should "discuss" something, and when we should not. In case you missed the tone my post set, I was not "slamming" anybody. I'm trying to keep posts on this list in the direction of contributions, NOT continual wars with anyone who has a different viewpoint. Since several people on this list DO dive bungees into extremely cold water---it is in fact a good question to put out----this may be as good a place as you will find to look for experiences with temperature based performance change in the bungees. If the vast majority of users of these systems say there is no temperature based changes in tension---fine. That is information I'd like to have.
