   Chris, great points. A little clarification on your hoses:
having the long on the right post and short on the left, with 
pressure also on the left, and inflator coming from the right
relieves any confusion as to where the problem is as far as
shutting down the first stage - no criss-croses to disguise
the source of the problem. However, other than the hp hose they 
all will be near the back of your head where you can hear the gas
flow, and important signal to a problem. The hp is so loud that 
you can still hear it away from you. I know what you meant, but
it sounded funny - they are still behind you head, but not crossed
in the sense that the one appearing to come from he right is
actually on the left, and so on. 

       Most counter arguments will center around a particular 
phobia, like "I want the guage on the side I am breathing" (the 
can't count phobia), or "I want the main hose on the left so
I know when it turns off" (the shouldn't be diving phobia), or
the one's Gary mentioned , all of which indicate unreasonable fear
of diving, and of the famous unseen demons, taught so well by
many instructors, mostly U.S. cave diving types. -G
