  Nick, you fooled me at first, thinking you were a cyber geek diver, but that 
was because when I accused you of being a typical open water instructor, you 
denied it. You fit my total image, right down to this last uninformed comment. 

  I really fail to understand what you and tech diving are doing together: you 
don't know it , you don't do it.  Hang out on Compuserve. You incessant 
badgering of us is ridiculous - this is all you post, except for that assinine 
stupidity you bothered Wolov with. He is nice enough to ignore you - I am not.

  By the way , I never saw your web page , I just heard you had your picture on 
it - I WAS GUESSING. Now, this last comment (below) - how fucking stupid are 
you, anyway?
