 David, I sent your post to MOunt when you sent it to me - it is you who are
not 
a "stand up guy". You are a liar, and are now not willing to stand up to what
yo 
said. Makes no difference to me - I made my point, and that is if Mount is
going 
to persist in recommending crap gear to people, he is going to have to suffer 
the consequences when they find out the truth, like when they find out they
have 
nothing useful to dive with. Maybe this will save somebody else some money, and 
who knows, maybe Mount will wise up.

  I sent this to Tom PRIVATELY, and told him privately that he needs to stop
the 
 bullshit - he knows damn well what the pros use, yet he is so insistant on 
being a nice guy to a bunch of idiot goobers who could care less about him,
that 
he inadvertanly screws everyone over in the process. 

  We have divers on our team trained by Tom - ask them how much money they have 
spent getting rid of garbage and rebuying the right stuff. Start with Bill Mee 
and John Rose. Rose has a PhD, and Mee is a biomediccal engineer - you ask
those 
two guys about the dogshit  crap that Mount hung them with, and how much money 
it cost them so far to get it right, by their own realization. Rose was a
little 
luckier - he found us first. Bill already had a comlete set of goofery before
he 
met us.

   Don't get me wrong , David - I like Mount and Mount is a very attentive dive 
buddy and a very safe instructor - I have been around him a long time. He just 
has a penchant to cut slack to people that I wouldn't spit on, like the
scumbags 
that make some of this shitty gear. He knows as well as I do what the best
light 
is, the best scooter, the best regs, the best rig, and the best way of doing 
things - he is just too concerned with accomodating strokes - I see no need to, 
and will not, including you and your bullshit. If you don't like what you wrote 
to me, then keep you sqaure light and other siliness, rather than trying to
sell 
it on here so you can get real dive  gear.

  You have wasted a considrable amount of my time, so I hope that somebody out 
there can benefit, but I will ask you not to bother me any more. I don't want
to 
know you.
