  Joel, well said. The rebreather thing is being driven by the bullshitters. 
Anybody who wants to step up and "pet the pony", can do it like Farb and the 
"Dude" did - go by a CCR 15.5, the civilian MK16, or shut the fuck up about 
rebreathers. These things, other than in the hands of a guy like Farb, are the 
dream of the weenies like who can't do it on SCUBA, and have no business doing 
it at all, what Volker calls "never-evers", like the Deep Caving Team weenies.
