Who the fuck are you, If you want to make money i suggest you buy Cisco stock,
If
you want to be in the dive business i doubt you will ever make much of a living
unless you are very committed . As for Jims point what is jims point i must be
missing something. Jim and trey are not the only two aholes on this list with an
opinion. I believe that courses and gear commercials the way they were presented
are very much appreciated.
