How funny that this 'discussion' is continuing - I had no idea everyone would have such strong opinions. I found a quote (on my desk calendar) today which I thought was quite fitting.

"I was told over and over again that I would never be successful, that I was not going to be competitive, and my technique was simply not going to work. All I could do was shrug and say 'We'll just have to see'."

Dick Fosbury won an Olympic gold medal at the 1968 Mexico City Games with his 'new style' of high jump - now commonly known as the Fosbury Flop.

I guess I'll just do the best I can with the skills I have...
