Snubbie, you're welcome.

My goal has always been to be a help here. I quit carrying external frames in 1978 when I got my first internal and have used literally multiple dozens since then over 1000's of miles.

So if I seem a bit opinionated, those opinions weren't just formed in a year or two, or even a decade or two.

I understand not all bodies are the same, but there are basics that don't change, body to body.
