Subject: Yet A New Milestone was Re: Fatality at Die Polder III
Tom, again my hat is off to you in achieving a new level of dementia,
malapropism, dyslexia, igorance, misinformation in a display of good old
fashioned malignant dumbass that is one for the record books.

 You are going to make William Faulkner roll over in his grave; this is
as authetic a "tale told by an idiot" as the first chapter of his
classic, "The Sound and the Fury", which is told through the eyes of the
mentally retarded character Bengy in one of the most famous examples of
stream of consciousness ever written. Yours is better .

 Let's look at just how talented  you really are. First, you can not see
the colors at depth, and pink , being near the red end of the spectrum ,
is one of the first to go. The acronym you malopropized "ROY G BIV" is
supposed to represent the major colors of the spectrum in order of wave
length, Rocky. 

  The rest of this is too funny to ruin by discussion. Try reading it
out loud to your dog and cat. They may want a poodle jacket, a mouth
wrap, or a colored leash.

  This is the pinacle of ridiculous.

They are less brilliant  but still seeable but the point is not the
color it is they state oxygen 0r  deco gas I or Nitrox is highly visible
wording. so they are readable to all  and identify the gas type and in
deco gas and Oxygen state mod on them,  Second the contents tape is
readable to the diver, third the MOD is readable
