If any of you have a Compuserve account, you must go to the scuba forum and open the messages under "depression" in the diving medicine section. This is an absolute hoot. There are several obvously derranged individuals who are trying to get a yes answer on useing various extreme mood altering drugs and diving,and Mount is in the middle of it with his back to the wall taking horrifying abuse from some of the most clearly deranged people I have ever seen in writing. This is an online version of the Star Wars bar scene. I have been lobbing grenades over the fence and then going back and checking later. These guys make Harris Martin look good. They are threatening to kick Mount's ass (and mine), they are calling Mount the "Bully of the Internet", and I am the "Facist". Some psycopathic ,slobbering , straight-jacketed looney is on there arguing that I (George Irvine) am what is wrong with the Stock Market. I trade bonds, but who knows what this psycho meant. He sent me private email that was so insane I had to send it back as my sole argument against drugs and diving. This is better than anything I have seen on the net yet. It is pure entertainment over there. I think Jaba Crea is the Sysop, so I am condsidering sending Carl's famous post over the fence to see what comes out. If you ever thought drugging was a goog thing, I offer up that forum as evidence to the contrary. Those guys think that just because they have not been busted for having these substances that it ok to toss a few back, obviously. The most competely insane I have ever seen a human being ws when a guy I knew took an antidepressant and had a glass of bourbon. He went to the psych hostpital and they would not let him in, so he went and got his car and drove it throught the front door, like in that Dirty Harry movie. I saved the newspaper clipping. His doctor had given him this stuff and forgot tp tell himnot to drink. He ended up in jail and never remembered any of it. -G On Fri, 1 Mar 1996, sirving@ne*.co* (Irving, Steve) wrote: >There have recently been posts stating that what one does in his home, is >his business.
