Something you need to understand, Georgie-boy (hey wasn't that a Rod 
Stewart song?  Yes, it was - oooooh, this could be useful amunition for 
Limbaugh-level exchanges...)  Anyway, as I was saying, something you need 
to understand is that, as painful as it sounds, "bondage" wings ARE "the 
right gear for the situation" in some situations -- like the ones I 
frequently find myself in.  We've been over this before, so I won't go 
over it again in detail.  Just trust me on this one.  I started out with 
the original dive right wings (actually, I started out with a circa-1979 
SeaQuest wings, back when they were called "back-mount-BC"), and I've 
used them for hundreds of dives.  Then I tried the OMS "bondage" wings, 
and they were a huge improvement for the sorts of things I do. None of 
your rhetoric can stand up to my experience on this, so you likely won't 
be changing my mind.  I'm not sure how many other folks dive in the 
environments that I do (despite what you think, you do not), so maybe I'm 
the only one in the world who finds them useful.
