I was waiting to see if you would finally show up!! Excellent info. I didn't post anything because I wanted to see who would respond. Now, where are the pictures of the knots so anyone not familiar to them can see what you are all talking about? Just thought I would toss in a few thoughts.
Gotta go,

Here is a scout site that has a pretty good set of diagrams..

Cool. And now for one in motion:

In fact, this is a place you can see several antimated knots.
Let us not forget the outstanding source of knot information for kiters found at:

When I rock climbed a lot, one of the most secure, and uncomplicated knots we used was the water knot. Tie an overhand knot. Take the free end and loop it through whatever it is to which you want to attach the line. Bring the end back to the knot and trace it back through.

I have used that knot also for rock climbing. ( it works great in webbing.) I was warned though, that it is a bear of a knot to untie  |
