George,

Let's cut the bullshit and get to point.  Tom's statement that 
antioxidants has been "proved" to be beneficial is what I am challenging,
not the use of antioxidants.

As to what dives I do, you could also raise the same question about 
Bill Hamilton - who does not dive.  What dives I do or do not do has
nothing to do with my statements on dive physiology, let alone Tom's
history of putting his foot deep into his mouth.

As to the organization that you claim I represent, you are way off base
there.  I own stock in TDI.  I was asked to invest in TDI when it was
first formed, and I felt, at that time, that it was worth putting some
money into. I currently do not support nor endorse TDI training or TDI policy. 

I have never received a penny from TDI in payment or fees.  In fact,
I am pretty much resigned to never seeing anything return on my investment
(if you can call it that).

There were high hopes that TDI would degenerate into the situation it
is currently in.  Those hopes have vanished as TDI has steadily gone
down hill.

I asked Tom to back up his statements with data, as Tom making the claims.

You state that divers move to techdiver and cavers to get away from
ignorance, not hear more of it.  Well, they sure do get an earful of
ignorance from Tom.  Why don't you quit attacking the messangers, and
look at the message.  Unsupported claims are what are being questioned,
not the messanger.

John
