This is the most arrogant piece of trash I've read on this list yet.

Your assumptions go far beyond reality, and even George wouldn't claim 
the amount of control you do.

This is hogwash, judging by the tone of your other posts.
I quote:

It says nothing. Turn it around. Given your omnipotent control, what 
happens when you decide you want my regulator? Don't you come GET it? 
Regardless of what I want?

Let me make it easier for you.

If I decide I want the second stage in your mouth, you need to make other 
arrangements.

Immediately. 

Without air or warning.

Nothing matters. 

It doesn't matter if we were buddies, it doesn't matter if your were 
solo, it doesn't matter which boats we came off of, how long you've been 
diving, what hole your stuck in, or what the stock market is doing. Your 
illusions of grandeuer and control CERTAINLY don't matter.

Your only two choices are to find something else to breathe off of, or 
die.

Stuff that in your tank, and control it.
