with all due reapect George...that's crap

if someone comes on and says something has been PROVED to be effective he
should be prepared (and happy) to back it up
if he (or you) said "in my vast experience, i have come to believe.." or
"*I* find that..." that is a different matter...
and i would certainly weigh your opinion heavily based on your experience

but that's not "PROVEN"

also....sorry, but i think i would at least CONSIDER the knowledge of an
Anesthesiologist as more than "armchair" criticism


people come "here" to hear more and talk more about technical diving...
not to hear OPINIONS passed off as facts...no matter how experienced the
opinion holder is


as far as "pontificating blowhards"...i only see them here

no one on Compuserve has set himself up as the final authority (or Pope or
Pontiff, whence comes pontificate)
would that the same could be said for here
eh?

have a lovely , free-radical-less holiday
