This was the ENTIRE background I clipped for my comment.  The only
statement in question was those FOUR LINES above that you asked Lee
to re-read carefully.

This was what *I* wrote,

Meaning, you haven't tried crossing your legs (in the context of
Lee's comment) OR the dolphin kick, and you were "speaking
theoretically" that the dolphinn kick will make you turn ...

And THAT's why I said you were ASSUMING (not having tried), and
SPECULATING (speaking theoretically), both directed directly to
your statement in question.

The reason your statement "really says it all" is that without
ANY actual FACTS of basis, you were "talking through your hat"
on the entire issue.  So, whatever ELSE you said were

          ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT

Do you understand what "talking through your hat" mean?

Before discussing anything else, why don't point out exactly how

Apparently NOT.

This was my RELEVANT comment regarding your posting on the subject
not having tried any out but speculating "theoretically" about what
might happen:

Reading this thread, I see you're back to your old self of MISREADING
what others have to say, making snide remarks about what substance
OTHERS have to say, had nothing better to say to Strike than
correcting his OBVIOUS typo of "affect" for "effect", and showed
nothing but your general, as well as specific, IGNORANCE about the
subject of diving with one fin, or "One Finned Divers".
