This list is about diving, in case you weren't aware of that.
I've tried. I sat here, stunned, and then I tried.
I tried to think of a topic, any topic, that could be further from diving, 
but I couldn't.
Information on your toe jam is one hell of lot more information than I need 
about you.
Or, before anyone chimes in, anyone else.

Jammer,

I don't know who you are, but given your demonstrated empathy for others I 
doubt very much that you are Jesus Christ.

We talk regularly on this list about ear infections, about aerobic capacity, 
about leg cramping, about eye problems and other health concerns associated 
with diving.  Why is asking for help with a toenail fungus, possibly picked 
up in a cenote or the shower of a dive shop, any different?

I'm sorry if you find the subject offensive, but I really wanted some help.  
And do you know what?  I'm getting it.  For me this list is a tremendous 
resource for information and help.  I guess for you it's simply a forum for 
you to broadcast your fantastic knowledge and opinions to the rest of the 
world.  And you obviously feel the need to censor the subject matter of the 
messages posted on the list but fortunately, it doesn't work that way.  So 
flame away big guy, and let the rest of us work with this list to obtain the 
information we desire and learn about diving related subjects.

Take care and safe diving,        Scott
