Blundell, before you get too full of yourself and choke, remember
that when George spoke at the UK dive show it was to a packed audience.
And at the Swedish show, it was a sell-out crowd again - of people 
who actually want to learn about diving better and safer. 
A lot of people appreciate his candour. A lot of us would rather listen 
to him than to the usual shambling circus of brain-damaged TDI deep air 
mutants that seem to get you so hot and frothy.

I must say, though, you do have some value here - as the village idiot of 
Australian diving. Remember when I sent you those 40 cu ft alloy cylinders
fresh from Catalina. You sent me a bewildered email, wondering whether
they were second hand or resprays because the paint came off when you rubbed
them with - paint stripper!! Fuck!! I laughed till it hurt.
