This is exactly what i have experimented and think about it.

>>Audiofeil...Evidently your cartridges work OK with non-vertical VTF<<

No, evidently you are wrong about the necessity of anti-skating.

Just to clarify things...do you guys deny that a skating force exists? I accept that some cartridge/arm combos can function OK in spite of the force. But it can't help.

Absolutely not, on my side i just didnt see any advantage of using it.

"Just to clarify things...do you guys deny that a skating force exists" Eldartford, I don,t deny it, a skating force does exist! I beleive this year they are called THE BOSTON BRUINS! Cheers
