Subject: Re: DEATHS WILL BE FAULT OF POLITICIANS!
WAIT A MINUTE!
this is a diving discusion list is it not?  This is the second dive list 
I may have to unsubscribe to becuase of quasi-nonrelevant banter!  Please 
get back on track.  We can only relate experience, the rest (conjecture) 
tends to really get off track at some point.  I hope to see us back on 
track soon!

Aloha, Michael				haring@ha*.ed*
