Subject: Re: labeling reply to Bill Mee
Tom , Trout hit it on the head - you don't get it, and you will end up
being told how to do it , not by a judge as Jesse says, but by the
insurance company that has to pay out when you lose enough law suits due
to sheer stupidity ( and that's being more than generous in my book).

Let me put it to you this way - nothing you have in your standards in
this regard is even ALLOWED at a WKPP dive. Arguing why is obviously
long lost on you and your band of Gurrs. I have already pulled one body
off of the ocean floor as a result of your "bottle marking".

To make matters worse, you take a known asshole like Gurr, slap an
instructor's badge on him ( the rumor is that you even made this
pathetic idiot a cave instructor ) and he goes out and does what all of
us would expect him to do - screw up royally. You then praise him for
it, and ignore the fact that this clown should be shot for allowing
students to dive without analysing their gas -obviously a REAL PRO.

Otherwise, what is a student doing diving an air bailout on that dive
anyway? Who is the moron that came up with that bright idea? How many
bullshit IANTD stickers were plastered all over the tanks , like a tail
told by an idiot, signifying nothing?

Bill Mee pointed this out and we will all keep pointing it out so long
as the stupidity persists. You can't make a coherent case for that
bottle marking crap. It is stupid - just plain stupid.
