So please, hold off on those "premature" judgemental statements would you?
No, I won't. I said nothing rude. I said I doubt the speed reading claims. Doubting is rude? I also said that I rather enjoy the process of reading and don't necessarity wish to rush through it.

I was making a comparison with the man who eats a 32-oz. steak in a record-breaking minute and twenty-three seconds or a couple who does Europe in five days or perhaps a man who completes a sex act in 12.8 seconds. They all enjoy, whatever, too. So, I made what I hoped would be a humorous comment. I'm sorry if it missed it's mark but nothing in my post was rude.
