Billy,

Well, I have got to admit it.. you are right. This whole damn thing is my
fault. I should have had my hearing-aid in when I thought I overheard
Henry Fleuss saying that he was "going down on the tunnel"
and had to hold his breath. How was I to know that it was not Henry Fleuss
but Heidi Fleiss, when I suggested that they should get a rebreather.
Gender differences in non-contact sports were never my strong subject. But
hey, that's what academic-physiologist-wannabe-divers are all about.

I think a few of useful topics of consensus did come out of the RB2
forum:

1) Flying a CCR with a setpoint pPO2 > 1.4 ATA is for cowboys. OK, deco is
   something else.

2) Having a bunch o' cert cards does not a CCR instructor make (Even if
   you are just smart enough to pick up the phone and call an ol' buddy
   ;-) And an organization with more instructors than there are units is
   to be reckoned as more glitz than guts.

3) Muscle memory is what counts.

4) Despite the techspeak, neither the engineers nor the physiologists have
   all the answers: Divers Proceed with Caution
