>>> Jack,

I don't know why you replied to me with your reply to Walt, BUT...

Your quote (referring to "Frame 1" at the "Swing Mechanics Page":

"It should be obvious to anyone that the hands are closer than 6 to 10 inches away from the shoulder. He could probably extend his thumb and touch it."

is absolutely ridiculous.


An animation frame, in which I CAN SEE NEITHER THE HANDS NOR THE SHOULDER.

Please tell me how:

Something "...should be obvious to anyone..." when no one can SEE it?

That "...the hands are closer than 6 to 10 inches away from the shoulder" , when you cannot see them?

That, "He could probably extend his thumb and touch it" , when you cannot see it (the thumb)?

Very unscientific. <<<

Hi Ray

I have no problem with you disagreeing with me. In fact, if you had agreed with me, I would recheck my position for accuracy. What I don't understand is the antagonistic and confrontational attitude of your post. As ssarge alludes to below, your condescending attitude makes having a discussion with you very "uncomfortable," regardless of whether your comments have merit or not.
