   William, the non-English speaking guys get offended. The Brits have the best 
sense of humor. I should have said "Continental Europeans". I did not want to
be 
a wiseguy, as the Germans then send me messages in German, and it takes me too 
long to read them only to find out I have been insulted. 

    I just find this deco thing to be so funny - a bunch of people makeing 
serious rules about something they do not understand at all, and have no idea 
what the truth is, after years of PADI-ing themselves with bullshit and false 
assumptions out of groups like the US Navy and DAN who are now just figuring
out 
what was evident 115 years ago when they tried to build tunnels and bridges.

     There are physiological differences that say some of us should dive hard, 
and some of us should hardly dive. Wearing some assinine computer made for the 
harldy divers is not the answer. Getting tested and customizing your tables is. 
This is called "doing it right", and is the bane of the dive manufacturing and 
instructional community.
      
     I love it. -G
