A proper rig for overhead implies a dual outlet source, and the use of ponies
is a vestigal reminder of the days of single outlet manifolds, and is now
considered proof of being a stroke. These people probably carry cranks around
with them in case they need to start their Model T Ford. It is a lot less
expenseive to just buy a T-shirt saying, "I am a stroke, and have the gear to
prove it", rather than actually taking the risk of diving a convoluted rig.
Asking how to rig a ponie is like asking how to hold a buggie whip. Get
serious, rec.swcub is the place for crap like this.

I was not asking about a caving application for rigging a pony. I am not a
cave diver. I have been on techdiver for several years and did not feel that
asking some of the most experienced divers in the world a question about pony
bottles was out of line. We're not all macho tech-cave divers. Some of us are
interested in learning and come here. I spend every mornign sorting through
the bullshit to find little gems of wisdom from you or your team. If you don't
like my post about pony bottles then, with all due respect George, move on. I
am a stroke. I am trying to learn how to not be one. If you can help me with
that please do, as I value your opinion. If you are just going to label me a
stroke and move on, then the hell with you.
