Hi Folks
	Look out! if you dislike people on soap boxes hit delete now!!!!

I find the attitude of people that say "don't say "whatever" because the kids
might be listening" a pain in the butt.
	They invariably  have the Big Brother know best attitude and reguard
us all as children with no sense of our own. This is a damn insult!

Another reason that this is anoying is why do they worry about everbody else.
If you do not have the commen sense that God gave the average horse, to know
your own limitations, then go for it! We need a good source of near new
second hand equipment.

(IF they wern't diving they would be driving at 100MPH down your local street
or some other such stupid activity, at least diving they only kill
themselves)

I do hope that this list will continue to be an open discussion forum for
technical diving amongts people that are interested in this sort of activity.
please do not pre-judge my level of ability and try to keep me in cotton
wool- It just wont work.

If anybody want's to try this stuff without training we'll just let
eveloution take its course.

One more comment before I get off soapbox
Why is everyone so quick to say "I only dive deep for (insert favorate wreck
etc). This is perfectly alright untill it gets a bit holier than thou. For me
Part of why I want to dive Deep is the chalenge (only part so no flames, at
least I am honest), very few chalenges here in front of the terminal. If you
heard E.Hillary say he only climed everest for the view you would laugh. Life
is too F*ing short! The underwater realm is the last frontier on this planet,
the wowsers have paved roads everwhere else, at least underwater you can't
here them winge. We should be excited and enthusiastic about exploring a
whole new world!

I am totaly resonsible for my own actions where they do not impact in a real
sense on anyone else. Wowsers can go back to bed where they are safe (except
for falling meteors).

I did warn you!

		If you got this far , then I thank you for
					your time....
				Terry
