Well done lads, you've proved that you can wage e-mail wars much better =
than George Irvine - what will you do now, join another mailing list or =
give us vastly less experienced divers the benefit of your diving wisdom =
now that the stage is clear.
Don't get me wrong, I don't slavishly agree with everything George, or =
for that matter anyone on this list says, but on the occasions I have =
posted to this list I have had replies with explanations from him and =
others enabling me to at least understand why something is done, even if =
it didn't relate to the application I had in mind. The replies I got =
went into much greater detail than originally required and raised =
related issues to me which I'd not even considered.  This, I believe is =
the essence of this list.

I am sure that there are many others like me who will be learning more =
from this list than we will ever contribute, after all, many more people =
write books than read them, and I'm sure that you don't send 10 copies =
of 'National Enquirer' or the latest Stephen King novel back to the =
publisher if you do not like them.

I wouldn't presume to stick up for George 1) he doesn't need it and 2) =
he'd probably flame me for being so sycophantic, but on behalf of the =
rest of us, cut the crap and use the list in the spirit it was intended.

Soap box mode off
regards
Paul Harris
