"Volgadon - see above, we've covered that."

David, I do not find where you have covered that at all. If you indeed did—and if you wish to add a measure of credibility to such statements—it would help if you would reference the date and time of your post in which you covered the matter.

When you stated that you had covered the matter of banning the practice of ballerinas dancing en pointe (on their toes) because of potential lower-leg injuries, you referred me to one of your poems, in which you mentioned having actually seen Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, which doesn't exactly make you an authority on classical ballet. This was hardly what I would call "covering" the matter.

Just saying that you "covered that" doesn't wash. So let's see an answer to Volgadon's question just above.
