First off - it is mean't to be a comedy. If you do not wish to read my funny post please send a stamped address envelope for me to send my ... actually that would be rude...
Step 1 - The starting question
This step basically can happen for any reason.
The first being that Mr average swing sucks and has a secret hope that the one swing change he reads on a bulletin board would give him the ability to be on tour or at least to look good to his buddys on the weekend. This is an acceptable reason, as we don't want to look stupid and unathletic with their beer in one hand and cigarettes in another.
The second is the part-time swing theorist. This person likes to look at the golf swing in their spare time and read books dreaming of being the scientific mathematition of golf. These guys have memorized the latest fad of the moment terminology in order to make it look like they have a clue. They know they have no real backing power and would get whitewashed if they claimed to be somebody. They wish to aspire into the background and get knowledge inorder to reincarnate themselves with an alias that has the attitude of definativeness in their tone. These people nearly always fit into the first catagory as well whereas the swing is just words to them. They also aspire to finding that little piece that might fill in their swing.
The third is I AM WANTING TO IMPROVE AT ALL TIMES EVEN IF I HAVE TO ASK STUPID QUESTIONS. These guys believe that its only going back to the beginning and really understand the swing will help them. The only problem is that they only try and try to really understand from the time they start the thread to when they finish writing their post. They eventually come back to earth on their spurt of the moment enthusiasm which ended before tread has dropped off the 1st topic page.
The forth is the part-time dummy alias of someone who posts normally in a I know everything tone. He finds something simple out of the big mess of swing stuff that is in his mind that might help his swing. He has tears of joy if he managed to do slightly better, tears of pain if not. He never enjoys playing golf because he believes his shots are better than what they are except for when they are flying through the sky and he can't lie to himself. He then proceeds with his know it all tone knowing full well that if he told the forum of his lacking abilities he would loose what little cred he had.
Step 2 - 'Do a half-a$$ed job' Reply
This person replies by saying your swing contains a big technical flaw but don't overdo the right thing because you don't want to loose everything you got hacking up pieces of turf with divots like bin laden's house after a USA strike attack.

This person usually starts very predicable 'Im not an expert' 'but someone else said this'. These people possess no original thought and have low expectations in life. They read and take parts of theory that they like the sound of. Use terms they don't know how to use and cannot be bothered looking in the dictionary to actually see what it means.

This is the type of guy that thinks that stupidity is the way to golf. He will say to one person about doing x problem correction with 'Hey dude just grip it in rip it', then saying the same thing with y problem a few threads later.
[?]Step 5 - 'My definition of a swing will solve all your golfing needs' Reply
Egotistic part-time swing wannabbe gurus fall into this mode. Because hes read a few hundred books by lead and butchy they feel themselves qualified to create their own definition of a swing which includes everything they are working on in their own swing. Their swing struggles to break the 200 yard marker but hey they still feel that they have the ability to teach.

This pansy boy wants to bond with you and create an image of a nice guy. They don't feel any pride lost because they suck at golf and they're saying to the world im rubbish because they want attention.
