Hello Dennis!

I'm not saying Richard's symptoms are DUE to a lack of oxygen, I'm just 
saying they are CONSISTENT with a lack of oxygen.  I can't imagine how it 
can be so given the gas mixtures being breathed.  Still, it's a good working 
hypothesis and I'll cogitate further...

Are your 'cold narc' symptoms similar to or even the same as Richards?  Do 
others have similar symptoms?  I like the term 'cold narcs' better than 
'oxygen narcosis' but there is probably a better term for this effect.
