Subject: Re: G-250 with Odin?
We don't run regs that require extreme intermediate pressure, special
hoses, or other goofery. Why recommend bullshit when there is so much
good stuff out there? Personal preference may seem like a great idea to
you, but is it crap in an sport like this. The Chrissy Brown school of
logic just don't cut it in real life. We don't allow the pieces of shit
at our dive sites - how's that for an answer? But then, what do we know?

    You still have left your last bullshit insinuation on the table ,
Anthony, and you need to clarify that one before you switch to a new
pronouncement on regulators, which you clearly have less clue about than
other diving topics you have mentioned. You and your asshole buddy ,
Chrissy Brown , need to get your facts straight.
