This is good; we're on the same page:-). The "exactness" has it's proper place, and it's good to know; but it is not the end all. As long as we are not misrepresenting, we're OK. Like when someone asks me what time it is. I generally generalize, to about the quarter hour, not exactly what a digital clock would say. There are times, however, when the digital time would be more appropriate. I think, however, that discussions are good so that we *can* get on the same page, and *know* that we're on the same page. Sometimes the discussions can get rough as we're pretty diverse in our knowledge of gaits, and are learning things from different sources, but things will even out in the end. After all, we're in a heckuva lot better shape than we were ten years ago! Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
