Subject: Re: so far suggested and included
Billy, we have had a lot of serious requests for "stroke detection" .
I actually start the tape with an admonition about this, and then at
various key points in the discussion mention the identifying
characteristics of strokes. I expect some real howling in repsonse to
this tape, and this time there are no punches pulled. If anyone wants to
sue me, they will of course have to make a donation to the WKPP in order
to get the "evidence". 

  Adherence to Rule Number One is a very serious thing, and it is
treated with the "uttermost respect" in this tape.

  Actaully, we are able to cover some very serious topics with great
simplicity. When one is exposed to the logic that I use, one finds the
right way automaticly, and it all falls into place - diving becomes fun
again, not a stroke contest.

  What is beging taught by the training agencies is so stupid ,
convoluted, disjointed, self-serving and criminal ( in my opinion) that
this tape offers the only alternative out there to all of the
inconsistency and caotic ass-covering that has been going where one
stupid idea is used to cover up the last stupid idea.
