Subject: Re: Re: Rebreathers and Hypercapnia Experience

Kevin, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I have already sent you- per
your request- a private message re:  the rest of your post. However, I
have a couple of things to say in public. #1. In no way do you remind me
of myself. #2. To an experienced diver, a trimix dive to 275 by OC or CC,
is not pushing anything. It's a dive, that's all. #3. What is scaring me
is that at the rate that you are self-destructing with the rebreather, you 
are going to injure or kill yourself with the unit for very
good reasons that you already know privately. I don't want that to happen
nor does anyone else because you are our friend. And BioMarine and the
fledgling rebreather industry would not be served well by an accident of 
your caliber. #4. You are not a total idiot.. #5. Yet. Rod
