Subject: Re: Rebreathers; response to moron Rod Farb
Dan, to prove the message below was from you and that you were at the 
Odessey booth at DEMA, describe the unit in the booth.  Specifically, 
tell me what the unit had on board. I, along with three other 
manufacturers came to the booth and saw the unit and picked 
up literature. I spoke to a woman there and questioned several things 
about the unit and even told her I didn't believe the unit was in 
production. I'll give you an intelligent reply if you will prove to me 
that the message was from you and that you in fact saw the unit at DEMA. 
There was a guy in the booth but he made no attempt to enter the 
discussion even when it was clear we all thought the unit was a joke. The 
reason I think your message is a joke is because the Odessey unit was 
disparaged by three major players in the rebreather marketplace. None of 
the three had one positive thing to say about it. Rod
