Phil. I am not arguing. I am answering.The argumentative one is not me. I would recomemd that you go to Rha's posting on 123 Waltz 10/10/ 06. which is very good Then go to the original posting on 123 Waltz. Then read your own posting dated 10/3/06 then have a look at anonymous's answer to that posting. Are you going to let any person tell you you are wrong when you know you are right. Rha does a good job of summimg our friend up who is beyond help. Best Wishes.

"Anonymous. If I turn one comlete turn, at sometime I will be going backwards. Take a look at the running finish after a Natural Pivot.The book says LF back.
On a Back lock the book says LF back, diag to wall. RF backward, and slightly to the right. Cross LF in front of RF. Then RF back diagnal to the wall. I mean where do you get your ideas from. I don't have the V Six, But I will guarantee that it says back RF Right diagnal to the center shoulder leading, or words to that effect."

Quickstep, what is your point???

You implied that the scatter chasse was some unique kind of danger because the leader might move backwards. I pointed out many other situations where he does, and now you are going that indeed he does move backwards???

I mean wasn't that obviously why I pointed them out?

Quickstep,you never learned,don't you notice that anonymous only waiting for you to post so he can correct you?.You should learn how to ignore him/her,don't answer his post.Like one said,he probably on a payroll here to argue.First of all,I never respond to any anonymous here because there are so many of them and I don't know which is which but I think I know who this one is and like what I said before,don't pay any attention to whomever he/she is.

Supaman. Yes I think you are right. There has to be something wrong with a person who hides behind a mask and yet has so much to say. Anyway thanks for the advice. I should have known better.

Hi Quickstep
sorry if i implied a blame. I think supaman's comments are very sensible.

Anonymous. You have completely lost me on this one. You wrote.
"And he is not going backwards on a Back Lock, or a Running Finish, or an Outside Change, or a V6, or a Turning Lock and umpteen other figures " .
Now it would appear to me that you are trying to say that this is what the other guy wrote when actually it is you."Soon you will completely discredit yourself if you haven't already, if you don't stop twisting. Do you get the pun

I will certainly claim the quoted passage because I wrote it.

Quickstep seemed to imply that the scatter chasse was uniquely dangerous because the leader moves backwards. So I posted a number of other figures in which the leader moves backwards to point out that there's nothing unique about the scatter chasse in terms of direction.

Quickstep replied by looking up each figure I mentioned and verifying that indeed it does move backwards... now you tell me, who is being silly?

PS, you left the question mark out of the quote - without that one could construct and argument that the meaning is opposite, though only if they were trying to be pointlessly argumentative.

Anonmymous. Just briefly. I saw an episode I think it was "Bones". In it the procecution were worried because their expert giving evidence was speaking words that the jury would not be able to understand. So they had to get her to speak so that ordinary people could understand when giving her expertise. Do you get the message. Don't write like this. Fred went to the river and saw Bill and his brother Sam. Now I am lost I haven't a clue who is related to who. Plain English Please

Lots of figures are dangerous if you aren't careful how you use them.

If you are changing directions very frequently, you can remember where others are even when you are briefly backing towards them.

Blackpool prelims are crowded, so you will need to be willing to change your plans rather than stick to your routine.

The ballroom is not the same proportions as the one you practiced your routine in, if you use your routine you would have to cut off the corners of the room.
