   ### - it's a support group (now with 1,649 members from all over the   
   planet) for people particularly wanting to learn to WILD, many of whom   
   have bought my book/seen my videos...   
      
   i.e., am merely the first to help people learn to swim in this particular

   plus imho, wont be the last to do so either ;)
