George, I'll like to know what you disagree with as well; I know you came 
into a thread on CIS re Argon and had a spat with John Comly, but I never 
really got your area of disagreement as I may have missed a message or 
two.

I know that I responded to questions concerning my experiences with using 
argon for suit inflation which are relatively few since I don't do trimix 
dives weekly as you do.  Nor, for that matter are my dives of the 
duration and complexity, although max. depths may be similar, of yours.  
Mine are typically wreck dives in the range of 140fsw to 300fsw.

If you're referencing John's strong suggestion that Argon be mixed with 
O2 in addition to being clearly marked, I'd be interested in hearing why 
you feel it's unnecessary to protect idiots who can't read a pony bottle 
label as large as the bottle itself. (However, I do seem to recall 
hearing of a story about some child being given, by an adult,  an argon 
pony to breath in the pool and who ended up floating face down.  Again, I 
don't know the details of this, to wit, was the bottle clearly labeled?)
