Dan and Rod

Hey guys lets keep it clean.
I wrote Rod a private E mail where I expressed he had not dives the 
odessey. It is not attractive but it is a safe unit. In fact for most 
recreational divers the passive unit is likely to be a safer unit for 
thier use. The odessey does not meet all the capabilities of a fully 
closed unit for technical divers. 

The Odessey is not a peice of shit. I own one so thinkI know it's 
poentential. 

On the other hand it is rather childish to invite some one to fight 
when you disagree with them. I hope we can be civilized in our 
interactions. To me fighting is like war it is done to the point you 
win or come back on your shield thus one should not be so quick to 
challenge folks to physcial confortation. 

Please guys keep the opnions(Rod) as such with out abuse of something 
you have not used and (Dan) do not go around inviting people to enter a 
war with you unless you really think the idea is worth dying for 
because fights can lead to permanenbt injury, and even death and I do 
not think anyone here is that serious about simnple things in life that 
will prove or disapprove there true value with time.

We all need the freedom to express opnions and each should be respected 
for their opnions even if we adamatly disagree with them. If we can do 
that we will improve all areas of our lives and diving.
