Also HSA. But if PADI instructors are generally mad at you, it speaks well for the organization. This suprises me, since last I heard they were working very hard at selling travel and sportswear, and less hard at selling diving instruction. :-) However, I suspect that they were mad at you mostly because of your pontificating and overbearing pronouncements, rather than the substance of what you say. Because, George, of late, many of your posts, when reduced to actual substance, melt away to nothing --- like a pat of butter on a hot griddle. Once you strip away the vitroil and blustering, all you are left with is a little slime. > By the way, have you ever posted anything to these lists but your > lispy little swishings?

One real diving post, and you > are history.-G George, could you bother to write in English so that those of us who speak and write that language could get a glimpse of your grand intellect? The above paragraph approached incomprehensibility. However, I believe I caught some of your meaning, between the blustering and threats, and I'll attempt to speak to those 'points'. I find myself answering questions offline rather than in the mailing list, as you and your associates tend to be derisive regarding anything that happens to be inapplicable to diving in a hole in the ground in northern Florida, mostly because you seem to be looking to be derisive, rather than to contribute to the discussion. I put this down to the playground bully mentality you expressed earlier, in one of the posts where you made a feeble attempt to insult someone and let your true colors show through. I guess this goes along with the homophobia expressed above. George, you really do have a social age of about 14 (I suspect I'm being generous here). I'm really sorry I let you get to me the other day. I should have considered the source. But I also find that I tend to read this group up to three days late, especially during the week, and find that others frequently make the comments that I would have made, and there is little need to "me, too" on an answer. Finally, unlike those of you in the WKPP, I'm not the font of all knowledge, and sometimes I just follow a thread to see if it will end up having any substance from which I can learn, or if it will just degenerate into name-calling and misunderstanding, as so many on techdiver have recently. There seems to be a lot of "mistaking the customs of our tribe for the laws of nature" going on here lately. Feel free to dig into the techdiver archives, where ever they are being kept these days, and search for njs. I'm sure you'll find something I said a couple of years ago that you can make fun of. Gosh, maybe you can print it out and read it to each other over sushi. Or maybe not.
