Subject: Re: ???? $700 Bouyancy Device?????
Mitch, I don't know what is the cave BC and I don't
 care. I know what works for me and I'm not going out
 and buying every new piece of BS praised on
 this list. I listen to the recommendations of the
 list, but when I choose to use something different
 I am attacked. No discussion just some babble about
 the "new divers" on the list might get the wrong idea.
 I guess that means that the experienced divers can't
 discuss any topics which might be misinterpreted or
 worse yet, applied incorrectly and hazardously.
 It would be nice if techdiver were utilized as a
 discussion area, kinda like it was intended.
 But I AM just a Boat Monkey, actually a retired
 Boat Monkey. So I have nothing to add to this list
 and no opinions of my own and no thoughts in my
 tiny little head.
 
 What a planet!
 Mark
