Then you are gambling with your own life.

Now you are a contradicting yourself. You say that as an OOA diver,
you expect to be handed a regulator that works. But as a donor diver,
you are willing to give away a reg that is *not* known to be working.
You can't have it both ways.

The logic is so simple and irrefutable that I don't understand how
people can continue to argue with it - THE ONLY WAY TO DONATE A REG
THAT IS KNOWN TO BE WORKING IS TO DONATE THE ONE YOU ARE BREATHING.
If anybody can refute that, then I'll see Sallot's 104s and raise him
a set of 95s :-).

No, it can't come from "anywhere" - it can only come from the
donating diver's mouth.

This will never happen if you follow Rule #1 (how scary - I'm
beginning to sound like George :-).
