Tom, I'm not going to CC you this one, cause I know you couldn't care less
what I think is safe, but here is my opinion on what you just said:

1) The IANTD standards do NOT specify large readable MOD markings.
2) What is the difference (oxtox wise) between a 1.6PPO2 at 20ft and a
1.6PPO2 at 120ft? at 300ft?  Nothing!  So by your logic why not put poodle
jackets on all your regs?!

Once again, what a crock.

Large lateral MOD markings are the way to go, and the only safe way to do
it.
