THAT is how one can make you reply to a post, even if this reply is not on-topic : Write something about what y o u had said, not about the topic !
Let me help you out, by noticing that you, or your "report"
, were NOT the main points of my previous posts.
The main points were that :
1. < The Gleipnir and > " the adjustable loops I had tied are meant to remain in one piece ONLY if they are loaded, otherwise they are self-un-adjusted and self-released, of course...
)"
2. "The Zeppelin bend is a most secure bend "- and one reason for this is that when we pull its ends it shrinks, but it does not "swallow" its tails.
3. "There are great knots which are "holding together" only with the help of the friction generated by some tensioned, due to the load itself, segments of their nubs, not by any pre-tensioned segments, due to the pull of the ends of their nubs by the knot tyer ( during a post-dressing, pre-tensioning phase, as it happens in the case of the "tight hitches" )."
4. Regarding the claim about the supposed/imagined "insecurity" of the knots which "do not fall apart the moment you jiggle the rope with no load"(sic), I had mentioned the Gleipnir and the bowline - and I had also noticed that :
5. " I deliberately have not referred to the Blackwall hitch, because I do not know if it can even be considered as a "knot", if/when/while it is not loaded."
THOSE were my main points ! I have not seen a n y comment on them, but I am accustomed to that... Now, I only want to suggest you need not care so much about my joke ( although I had noticed that many people in this Forum are not "perceiving" what I think is a joke, as a joke... ) :
" and we should not care too much if the keys inside Dan Lehman s pocket become separated after 35 years - I do not know if the locks, the doors and the house which they open will still be there by this time."
One thing is certain : I will never find out if they will be there by this time, or not - I do not plan to live so much.
