Does that mean we shouldn't talk about trimix either?  Most divers do 
not do trimix dives.  Most divers do not do 2-mile penetrations into 
caves at 300 feet, and I never will, but that doesn't mean I don't want 
to hear about it.  Most divers never make deep wreck dives off the NE 
coast, but I'd like to hear about it.  Most divers don't do incredibly 
deep cave dives in France, but I'd like to hear about it.

You might be surprised how many people on the list already use them.  
Many others will be using them soon.  It seems to me like they represent 
an appropriate topic of discussion on this list.

A lot of the nitty gritty stuff about scooters and lights is useless to 
me (an many others), but I believe this is an appropriate forum to 
discuss such topics.

Am I being unreasonable?

Aloha,
Rich
