"But, you and Lynn are saying you ONLY teach it one way—totally still head—which means our friend Leo Tong(zilla) went totally with LBG's teachings, he would have to HOPE and PRAY that he would be able to hit it as good with a "pivot tripod center," as he does with a different—more "spine centered" center of backstroke rotation. Because, right now, and at Canton, his RESULTS say that you are wrong."

(you are wrong) Pointing fingers is childish and non-substantive. "Totally still head" is your misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the posts that you've read. Read them again. Lynn and I teach anything and everything that's in TGM. Some components are "recommended", some are said to be "extremely hazardous". I have the ability to teach the more complicated of the two, if you'd like. But, SELDOM does anyone ask for that.

I eagerly await all of the mysteries that you will reveal on the list of things that Homer got wrong. Lynn Blake will always be one to teach all of the things that Homer got right. Additionally, TGM is the unwavering foundation of OUR teaching, not just a tool.

Ted (not Teddy),

This is such an enlightening post. It brings to mind the kindergarten class I used to teach during Sunday schools in church.

There was a kid who would, unprovoked, go challenge other kids with:

Kid: "My daddy is better and stronger than your daddy."
Other kids: "Really? Show em' to us."
Kid: "Oh yes, (pointing finger), my daddy is better than all yer daddies."
Other kids: "Really? Show em'"
Kid: "He is the BEST."
Other kids: "(whispering...), let's just humor him, else he won't quit yapping. Ok, your daddy is the BEST."
Kid: ~(smug grin)~

I guess some kids never change, they just grow BIGGER...
