As you can see from the above, it is not my imagination that your 
messages are lacking in format as well as content.

As you take exception to Mr. Irvines oratory style, is it not 
counterproductive to emulate it?

You too can use the delete key, but instead choose to pollute the 
bandwidth with, yes, meaningless diatribes. As a matter of fact I don't 
recall EVER reading a message of yours which had any substance or even 
reference to the subject at hand, namely scuba diving.

Mr. Irvine, on the other hand, has submitted countless posts brimming 
with vital information which is not only of interest, but which can also 
be construed as life saving. While *your* posts are devoid of anything of 
interest, value or importance. So rather than requiring all of us on the 
list to use our delete key, I propose it would be more economical if 
_you_ did not use your POST key. Perhaps on a permanent basis insofar as 
TechDiver is concerned.

Yours-

   Jim <superstroke> Cobb
