Mike-

I do believe it is YOU who are not reading and listening properly. I gave
you the advise you were looking for... You asked what the deal was with
bondage wings, and you got replies. You have then continued with a series of
"yeah...but" type statements, which only serve to aggravate the discussion
and make others less likely to help.

Ask a question, read and learn from the answers, and then don't get so
defensive....especially about a piece of gear that could cost you your life.
