I can't say I am surprised.

You did not. You seem to prefer to use the word, or abbreviation, tt to refer to UCI time trials and recommend that I do also.

Mainly I agree other than
1) If you believe that "time trial" only refers to UCI trime trial then I understand how you would see my position as a parody but from my point of view, my position is my time trial position, rather than a parody of the UCI time trial position. (That said, currently my position is a parody of that of Jacques Anquetil and Eddie Merckx, and my position used to be a deliberate parody, or partial emulation, of the UCI time trial position when I forward offset my saddle and bars to place them roughly where the bull horns of a time trial bike are. )

2) I don't think I am being illogical. I think that "comfort" in general tends to be a bit of a slow poison, and recommend you cut the comfort. Take up your bike and follow Jacques Cobb.

Hey, thanks for remembering that. I posted about prisms years ago, I think. I tend to find I get quite a lot of interlocutors here but I am sure you will feel free to ignore me in future.
