well again...i'm not defending breathing the short hose...only discussing it


but if indeed it's a 1% chance...then i like to think that if i decided to
breathe the short hose i could deal with the time in a hundred when someone
grabs my primary and *i'll* switch to my long hose backup....
then when things have calmed down and he's under control i can switch if we
need to


again...i'm not saying it's the BEST way

only that i see it as a personal choice and i'm not prepared to call
everyone who makes that choice a fool
