Svend,

However, there have been times in past when this forum has had a very singular focus, and those who did not share that doctrine were either actively criticized or simply ignored and politely disregarded.

The pendulum swings  back and forth.  When I first joined this forum, I was set upon by two then-active members when they discovered I had studied PMTS.  It was then a small minority interest on this forum.  (They were relentless enough that I almost left.  Instead I read threads that interested me and ignored the rest, baiting and all.)  Over the past 18 months, the situation has flipped ... and will no doubt flip flop again.  It's just the way of the internet.  You can help accelerate the change by introducing some of your Canadian skiing buddies to the forum just as Liam got a few Berkshire East guys to sign up.

Ski technique has always been a contentious and divisive issue.  It's been said that if you have 5 ski instructors seated at a table, there are at least six technical opinions around the table ... and all of them are "right."  'course we all know know they're wrong 'cause I'm the one who's got it right 

Edit: typed too fast; omitted 'at least' so made no sense
