Golly there Fenton.... what an excellent post ! I agree 1 billion percent with these words ! Tho I do hold with trying to be as open to the ideas of <<the other guys>> as much as one can... still learning completely and thoroughly one approach in itself is quite a time consuming effort. Fortunatly... there are several good basic approaches and that leaves something for just about everyone yes ?? Cheers RicB ----------------- Yes, Yes, Rick and Terry, There are many ways to skin a cat. But at some point you have to put saw to wood and get on with it. If you were to try to become an expert at every methodology just to be sure you were joining the right religion (that didn't come out right) you'd waste a lot of the precious little time we have here on earth. So, I say to those of you trying to learn belly work, if you are fortunate enough to find someone to apprentice with, learn their methods and then go out and cut wood, what's the worst that can happen. Listen to all but worship only one God. I'll have a drink with you who ever you are, and I will come away learning more that you. I hope I can do a half dozen more bellies before I'm too old for this stuff, in that amount work I'll be lucky if I can just begin to understand the big picture. The little bit I know now comes from Dale, Ron N., Dave H., Ron O., Del. and the list as a whole. It is really cool to watch the arguments here and listen to all sides. I'm starting to hear the belly of the beast. Fenton
