Rod, A. Odyssey has not gone belly up. Who the fuck is telling you shit like this, and why the hell don't you check the validity of your information before you make public posts???? Is Biomarine paying you to play "information terrorist" or something ;) ??? I really would like to know who is saying this shit, especially when it effects my credibility, and after I just posted that Odyssey was "NOT" going belly up, and in fact, could have just made a spectacular deal. I just spoke to Odyssey, not five minutes ago, and was told that their economic health is quite good, and they have extremely low debt service, by any standards. I'd like a shot at whoever the asshole is who is telling you this stuff. B. Next time you address a question to me, and I offer you the courtesy of answering it, I'd expect the courtesy of your e-mailing me back if you have a problem with my answer.... C. I don't know that Biomarine, or any other rebreather company has you on payroll or perks, in order for you to help them with advertorial misinformation and blatant attacks on superior rebreathers, but considering what I've just read from you, I have told Odyssey that they can NOT treat you as an unbiased rebreather user, but only as a "mouthpiece" for some other rebreather company----and that they should treat any correspondance with you in the same way most of us would with Mike Cochran ! D. I have recieved "zero dollars" from Odyssey and have NO agreement and NO contract (before, now, or any time in the future) with them to assist their marketing of image or anything else...I have posted information about them because I beleive they represent a valuable technology to the members of this list, and because I found them to be far superior to many much more well heeled and "big AD Budget" type manufacturers who had waded into the rebreather market. I like to be on top of "whats Best" because I have an online dive magazine, and I like "it" to be a resource for divers, meaning, No one has a better reason to get on the Internet with posts about what they really believe is best, than do I. ....You could also take this to mean that I am CLEARLY LESS BIASED about any particular manufacturers than YOU are. If I sound pissed off, its because I am. Dan Dan Volker SOUTH FLORIDA DIVE JOURNAL "The Internet magazine for Underwater Photography and mpeg Video" http://www.florida.net/scuba/dive 407-683-3592
