I never claimed to do any "real" diving, Georgie-boy.  Nope, nobody gave 
me the bondage wings - I paid a lot of money for them.  And I'm not just 
defending them because I spent a lot of money on them - I spent more 
money on Poseidon Odins, and that was a waste of money for the dives I do 
(all warm water).  You see, most of your bottom time is spent gliding in 
a prone position, maybe doing a few twists and turns.  My bottom time is 
spent twisting around, upside down, head-down, on my back, you name it - 
I need fast and responsive changes in position.  With the old wings, the 
gas would shift from left to right all the time, which would throw off my 
manuverability.  The bondage is the next-best-thing to non-compressible 
buoyancy. Also, Georgie, I don't wear a drysuit, or even a wet suit, so I 
have no alternate means of acheiving posative buoyancy.  In other words, 
I need two BC bladders.  Putting two DiveRites together is almost as bad 
as that Zeagle thing.  I tried the OMS without the bondage, but it was 
just as bad as the original DiveRite.

Oh, geez...am I THAT transparent?  You see right trough me.  O.K., 
everything I said above must be wrong then. I guess I really don't know 
what I'm doing after all.

You know, for someone whose always whining that nobody in the community 
gives you the credit you deserve (when, in fact, even your biggest 
detractors on this list all acknowledge you are about the best cave diver 
in the world), you sure are pretty piss-poor at giving the other folks on 
this list the credit they deserve. But, of course, if they don't have the 
end of the line in some hole in the ground in Florida, then they're all 
worthless strokes anyway.  And since you seem to have the end of the line 
in all the holes in Florida (interpret that anyway you see fit), then 
pretty much by definition anyone who is not you is, well, a stroke.  How 
do you ever find dive buddies and abide by rule number one at the same time?

Explain that to me, smart guy.

Rich
