Hi again Bob

As I said... reasoning is sound and I might add that the subjective 
judgments of advocates of this approach are pretty unified in their 
choral of support for it. Just make sure the double loop doesnt change 
your downbearing situation adversely.  Otherwise, seems to me that the 
only thing you have to loose (if anything at all) is the time it takes 
to make the double loops.   For any who for whatever reasons had any 
doubt,  my post was an affirmative reaction to the idea of using the 
German loop. That said.... it WOULD be cool if somebody could quantify 
the alleged differences... how large they are and under what 
circumstances the use of them justifies the effort.... etc etc.

Do watch the downbearing... and do have a Merry Christmas !

Cheers
RicB


    Hi Bob

    To date there is no data to support the idea that I have run into.. But
    the reasoning seems sound enough. It would be interesting if someone
    could actually quantify the alleged difference someday.  In any case...
    it certainly cannot hurt unless your downbearing is effected adversely.

    Cheers
    RicB
