I am really sorry to notice that more and more
Rather, "presuming to notice ...".
... you understand less and less than I suppose you can and you will ...
My remark was, obviously ( for me, at least ),
Moi, aussi.
about the difference between the Zeppelin and the Hunter's bend,
the difference regarding the "b&q ness" Mobious was talking about and roo commented on.
No, the difference that they remarked at --to the point
of comparing "side"s to see that they look the same--
is that between the
zeppelin & the knot M. presented
(which only *resembles*
SmitHunter's bend--i.p., it does NOT interlock
overhands by "hook"ing "leafs";
but it does do everything
else of the
z.!)
( I have also to inform you that I happen to "see" some,
at least, "old" knots ( including the Zeppelin bend ),
more clear than you can even imagine you will ever do
--and that is why I manage to tie some "new" ones--
I say that your premise is hardly certain,
and your conclusion ("... which is why ...") a partial
non sequitur : by not seeing ... clearly, one might well
find oneself tying "new" ("unintended", but ...) knots
a-plenty! (One of my jokes re How To ... : "just come
up with a complicated knot, and in trying to re-tie it
no doubt you'll go astray and end up with a *new knot* !")
the noble duty to always defend roo and go after me when you think you can,
like in this silly case
I think that we can see who's "going after" whom
all too clearly. The silly case of repeatedly telling the
world who sees what how and why not and <repeat>!
(Now, we'll pause to see if you can find a "hinge" just
like that infamous one lurking in the
z. in the case
where the hinged elements simply have a different
relation to each other --one, in fact, much more like
the hardware hinges I see (i.e., b & p, not q) !
--or, if you only see that Roo made a post that you
haven't attacked)
- because you would nt dare to say anything about my knots,
... : eventually they may be forgotten ! ) )
And I'll have to remind you that **I** have PILES of
"play ropes" tied up (literally) with my *own* (new) knots,
to which I've given scant time & attention (i.e., I've not
put ink to paper; I've not "publish"ed, as you exhort me
to do); your knots sit in good company, in this sense.
And it is all a bit overwhelming to get control of.
(So often, an effort to record
this knot results not
in that, but in then producing --in tied-up, hard-now-to-find
play rope-- yet another *new* knot in need ... !
)
BUT, I think that I will get time to do a chunk of some
such recording. (The benefit to delay is the chance, then,
to group knots per structure --older & newer.) ((Another
benefit is that, given the delay and press of work to do,
one is more willing to discard knots, so maybe some more
chaff is tossed out.))
