Rick,

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give them the consideration they deserve.
In the meantime, this is a tech diving list, why not discuss that? Any
interesting dives you've done lately, any sites of particular note, any new
gear that you especially find useful?  I'm sure if you tried you could add
something of value to this list that is read internationally  by tech divers
who have better things to do than listen to someone on a rant.

BTW, just a note of usage, you are kind of mixing up your grammar here:
"mealy-mouthed coprophage"?? Mealy-mouthed implies a dry mouth, unable to
speak plainly and you use that to modify the word coprophage. I won't go
into your use of this form of this word here, you'd probably get a headache,
but how can someone who eats dung have a dry mouth?? Just something for you
to think about next time you chow down. And "breathless indignation" wow!
Charming, if dull and well-worn, but when referring to a diver as someone
who is _breathlessly_ indignant, well . . . it does add some new life to a
tired tool of the dull mind--bravo!

Finally, when someone looks up your name in the archives, what will they find?

Just trying to be helpful,

JoeL
