Subject: RE: Doin' it on the net
Jim, point taken.  I'll try and get a suitable photo.

As regards the power of the net comment, if there is a trend for people
rigging this way, hopefully this will initiate a rush by dive gear
manufacturers to start creating decent gear.  If the major selling
points or competetive advantages were safety features/simplicity,
rather than the fact that this gear has 243 d-rings and looks really
cool in fluorescent purple, the world would be a better place.  I think
I'll continue.

-Sean
