Geez,  I hope that we aren't all judged by our email addresses now.  When 
someone is a tech diver and they want a good email name, there are so few
to choose from.  When I first signed on about 1.5 or 2 years ago, someone 
already had the good ones with "mix" in them, and "deepdive" just happened
to describe 75% of the dives I like to make, so I went with it.

I feel no need to prove anything, and am not using the name as any form 
of status symbol or cocky label for myself.  I'm not a diver who 
considers my abilities "endless", yet I spend a great portion of my dives
over 130 to 150 feet, and a fair amount of that time on mix.  

Anyone have a problem with someone choosing an easier to remember and 
somewhat descriptive username must really have some sort of stick up 
their ass.

Well, happy diving all!

for you northerners, it'll be 40 degrees this weekend...perfect ice 
diving weather!!
