Brakes are used during a soft field landing where the point is to put as
little weight as possible on the nose gear. Try again.

Dude - your original assertion (above) was ridiculous. ANY braking will
put more weight on the nose wheel. That's what I was responding to.
Hell, even George P. is backing me up here : )

Both are irrelevant. You use brakes during a soft field landing unless
conditions, rare conditions, prohibit them.

you don't use short field technique because you want to TD as lightly as
possible

Short field technique doesn't necessarily mean a carrier landing-type
touchdown IMHO

Huh?

You really don't touch the brakes doing this on a 1500' grass strip?

Now you're being more specific. On a familiar grass field, of course.
(I'd never fly into one that short (personal minimums) I fly a T-tail
Lance, definitely not a short/soft field plane. Maybe in a taildragger,
but then I'd never use the brakes (or even need them for that matter)

in case you forgot or are too dense

Are you this obnoxious in person?

Yes. But you wouldn't see it that way. Welcome to Usenet.
