PCP should not be used while diving. Only before or after. So I don't 
really think that techdiver should even consider using PCP. Angeldust, 
maybe. I mean you don't really feel like talking much on PCP but it by no 
means should be considered censorship. If everybody on the list was 
taking PCP then who would even notice fake email. So, maybe that's what 
everybody should do. Like, this is just an opinion, OK. So, you know, 
like, don't torch me, man.
