I must be stupid, or uneducated, or obsolete, or something.

When I was trained on octopus air-sharing, one of the things they taught us
was to purge the second stage as soon as you got it, via one of the same
three methods they taught you for when you had lost your second stage to an
aquisitive tree or something.  It was just assumed that the second stage
WOULD be flooded when you got it handed to you.

Admittedly, this WAS twenty years ago.
