Yes it would be a fruitless exercise because it too, is common knowledge! I suggest that if you know so much more than Brooks or anyone else for that matter, you should start a company making far superior saddles (even if they are a bit wet).

I would like to carry on this pointless discussion about leather saddles and the fact that they should be soaked etc, but there is an old saying. Never argue with an idiot as they drag you down to there level and beat you with there stupidity. I feel that's what you are trying your best to do!

Kind regards. Marc.
