Hi Tom.  It's not clear to me whether you are quoting someone, or 
if this is original material, so feel free to take this personally 
or not as you see fit.  Anyway, your post is a load of crap.  The 
arguments are nonsensical and the "facts" are fiction.  

I can't believe anyone is spreading that garbage about getting choked 
by the long hose.  Have you ever noticed which side of your neck the 
trachea is on, and compared it to which side of your neck the long 
hose is on?  Choking is not a problem, and this has been well known 
and documented for many years (certainly long before my time).  Go 
read Exley's "Basic Cave Diving".

I look forward to the day when someone takes the time to lay out an
alternative to Hogarthian from head to toe.  It will be educational
or entertaining, no doubt.  George, JJ, Bill Gavin, and others have
all taken the time to do this.  Isn't there anyone who believes 
strongly enough in another system to step up to the plate and do 
the same?  If not, then what's all the noise about?

- Todd
