I guess your comical request are a little beyond the level of 
understanding that I care to or have time to decode.

To avoid making you feel attacked and me attempting to set a record 
straight I will try to avoid responding to these type post. However I 
did respond to the DA (suckers) post as it could lead to those on this 
exchange getting a false understanding of deco on various gas mixtures 
and a misinterpution of the role of training agencies.

These type post could prove dangerous if not understood by some of the 
readership as they could lead to misinformation on safety issues. Thus 
they kind of have to be addressed.
 
I really do not know who the author was I thought it was George just 
trying to pep up the dialog a little, as things were getting quiet for 
this forum, but I guess it may have been you.

I hope my response did not upset anyone but for those who are new to 
tech diving it sure should show them the differences in deco gases and 
getting out of the water in a reasonable time.
