NICE!
Ever the diplomat eh Bomb?

I'm still not convinced by the 'tie in one motion' thing. Sure, if you 'half-tie' the re-threaded bowline, you've got a single bowline - which should hold ok. But if a single bowline's ok, why didn't you just tie it in the first place?

It seems to me that the real benefit of the re-threading thing is that it stops the problem that you can have with a normal bowline being loaded across the bight (as discussed above).

Anyway - I'm sufficiently convinced that I've been tying in with one for a while now. But the way you go on about it Bomb anyone would think you had shares in it or something...
