Bullshit again. Besides, if he did something like that , he is not
going to tox, now is he? 

 The clip on the stage reg is only for clipping to the bottle for
travelling, never for clipping anyplace else. When we are not using the
stage or deco gas, the reg is parked and the valve shut off.

 Why can't you guys just look at the whole system and see the logic and
see that it all fits together? Just try mouthing the words, "just maybe
this guy knows what he is talking about". I know how tough that is for
most of you, but give it a try. 

 The alternative is not looking too smart after all this time.
