Interestingly.....

                   A friend of mine passed the following comment after
he was approached as a 'candidate' for inclusion in Stones 'Wakulla 2'. 

"I'm not sure that I would want to be 2 miles back in Wakulla on one of
Bills rebreathers."

Before all the flak starts about bail out this, switch to this and then
do that etc,etc.... This was a genuine comment from someone who I have a
lot of time and respect for and came out in conversation a couple of
weeks ago.
