    Interesting piece of information, thanks.

    My mindvoice was saying to start from a neutral position and adjust slowly one way or the other. What my mind hears and my fingers type are sometimes different things.

    In retrospect, I probably should've just kept my mouth shut. I read things of this sort because it amazes me that women can find bicycle saddles comfortable so I'm fascinated by the sorts of problems women have and how they solve them.

    I objected to the word "should"
    you could have said "a good way to start would be to start with the saddle level" because I can agree with that, it's a good way to START with a fit; but by saying should, you are suggesting that all of us who don't ride level are doing something incorrectly.

    I've been close to dead a few times and I'm not there yet.

    Profoundly embarrassed is more like it. However, there is a valuable inter-gender communication lesson for me here. "Should" is a stronger word for women than men.

    No, it's just a stronger word for Mimi.
