John,

First off, I replied directly to you, not the Techdiver list.  Strike one.

Secondly, what the hell does my web page have to do with anything, let
alone my diving credentials?  I never stated that I was God's Gift to
Diving.  I'm a "nobody" when it comes to diving.  Strike two.

Finally, I rest my case in your reply back to me and the list.  Like I
said before....You're pretty damn clueless when it comes to the do's and
dont's of the Techdiver list.  Matter of fact, you're what's known as
"stroke" for us people in the computing/networking industry.  The point of
my _personal_ reply to you was that, for all I know you _are_ God's Gift
to Divers, but you're wasting my time posting worthless crap to Techdiver.
Strike three.

Fortunately for you, you don't live in Wa. state.  We have a pretty strict
"3 strikes and you're a stroke" law.

ObTechdiver:  I aplogize for wasting all of your time with this worthless
email note to Mr. Todd and the list.  I can only hope that Mr. Todd will
mosey up to the Clue Bar, and have one one me.  Hopefully, if he has such
a problem with my email messages, he'll keep it personal and not bog down
the list with worthless dribble.  But, if you're going to be stupid enough
to take my personal opinions and post them to Techdiver, than I'll
publically call you a "stroke".

Oh yeah, and check out my wep pages at http://diver.ocean.washington.edu.

PS.  I have tons of diving crap.  I'd be more than happy to sell a lot of
it to any fool willing to purchase it.
