I just assumed he and I were playing the same games that you and I play:  
exchange information maturely in private, and have fun baiting each other 
on the lists.  If my assumption is wrong, I hope someone will let me know.

I certainly hope this is a promise you do NOT intend to keep.

Stop! Stop!  You're killing me!  Come on, Dude, I can't even tell if 
you're playing the game, or just yanking my chain.

I'm not a navy guy, but the tears are crossing my cheeks as I write this.

off, 

Don't forget - I was "Doing It" with rebreathers a year before you were.

> and do not ever mess with Barry or any of my guys. 

Like I said, I just assumed Barry was playing the same game with me that 
you do all the time.  If he was serious, then I owe him an apology, and 
he probably owes me one too (I'd have to check the archives - I can't 
remember what started this).

I must be bulletproof, because I don't have any battle scars.

We don't have enough new footage yet to cut a new edit.  In early
December, 25 acres of coastline where we dive the flow suddenly dropped
off into the abyss. This happens every few weeks. The bench has built up
over the past month and is almost ready to go again - so now is a very
dangerous time to dive it.  After the next catastrophic slump, we'll wait
a few days and if the conditions are right, we'll take the digital camera
out for some more footage.
