Guys thanks a lot for the responses, as always super helpful.
Regarding (3). Ok so I spent the morning at the gym waiting for this person to show up, which she eventually did !
You guys were right, awful technique even by my humble standard. I chose not to approach her.

If you want some sound advice about all aspects of rowing, I would make a call to the Hong Kong Rowing association. I'm sure they could offer some training courses.
Very good idea ! I checked their website and sent them an email to make contact.

What sort of pain? Sores from rubbing or general aching?
[...]
If it's just aching then you will get past that with more time in the saddle.....imo
It's just aching. Problem is I have very little fat on my bottom so my bone pretty much rests on the seat.
Me too.... boney ass is not great for rowing
...the Citius Remex helped me for sure.

Yes you're right in fact, I am checking the PM's history almost every day for this specific reason. I'm hopeful to notice a strong stroke I could approach. I haven't seen it yet but I keep checking. My sense is that if there was one, I would have seen it by now. It seems I'm the only one who is not using exclusively the Just Row function.
Actually its worse than this as (at least on PM3) any row <5min on just row isn't saved. I find many people do 500m or so on just row and so never leave a record!

I think the PM5 reduced this time to <1min. It's very likely that every just row gets saved.
