Of course it is. Hang him for that.

But THESE bottles weren't marked by IANTD standards.

IANTD had nothing to do with this incident according to Tom Mount and Bill
Mee.

An improperly marked bottle is not automatically an IANTD bottle.

I don't dispute that improper markings may have been what caused this
fatality, I leave it to wiser heads than mine to determine that.

What I object to is going after Tom on this case, when we have so many,
higher quality charges to level at him.

So hang him for marking bottles improperly, hang him for teaching improper
marking techniques, but don't hang him for THIS bottle, or THIS accident.

Besides, if we hang Tom for this one, we might let the real culprit (TDI,
PADI, the buddy, whoever) off the hook. Let's go hang HIM.

This one isn't on Tom, and I haven't seen anything that suggests it is,
while I've seen several posts, some from WKPP, that point out it's NOT on
Tom, or IANTD.

You guys are worse than a bunch of drunken cowboys with ropes and torches...
