Congratulations George,
You are doing much better at your e-mail. Since I have
been correcting you, you now are able ridicule in complete sentences,
your spelling is much improved, and this is the first time I have
received mail from you without one of your sexual fantasies. You may
not think I am much of an instructor, but I have gotten you to do
this in only three days. Nobody else has been able to do this in
three years!
I think your ready for the advanced communication course. This
course is called "Reading For Comprehension". In this course we
teach you how to read and comprehend before flaming.
But first lets set the record straight. You may need to enlist
the help of the person who showed you how to use your Spell Check.
Have them show you how to use the Techdiver Archives, so that
everything I say here you can verify if you choose to.
1. I never said that I promote Air diving to 200'. I said I
couldn't condone it below 200'. Personally, I use Trimix below 150',
use an END of 130', and plan such dives with a PO2 of 1.4 or less. I
also sell it and promote it's use for the obvious benefits. Obviously
you confuse "condone" with "promote".
2. As for "dive store wizzard", if you check my posts on
"Techdiver" for the last 6 months, you find I know more about
Scubapro regulators, OMS equipment and steel tanks in general than
99.9% of the people on "Techdiver" ( including you ).
3. I am 6' and weigh 165 lbs., no gut , no beard. I am in the
water on average of three days every week and log over 100 ocean
dives every year. I am not some desk jockey that scuba dives on the
weekend for a hobby.
4. Finally, I knew Rob Palmer although not well. I met and talked
with him on 3 or 4 occasions in the last two years. The subject of
deep air diving never came up, and I would say that he seemed a very
decent individual ( is that a term your familiar with george? ).
Now it's time for your "Reading For Comprehension" course.
The question I asked you 3 or 4 posts ago went as follows:
George wrote: Bob, I do not respect anyone's right to fuckup diving
for all of us - the deep air guys are ignorant strokes
- both
living and dead - G.
Ted wrote: George, do cave divers feel the same way with regard to
how far you push the envelope for your project and
the repercussions to them in the event of your
untimely death? If there is a difference what is it?
Most people would not comprehend this to compare your diving to
Palmer, but how you death during your project might effect
accessibility of caves to cave divers in the future.
George should have responded with something like:
Ted,
our dives our for explorational and scientific purposes
and fall out side the realm and don't effect normal cave divers.
George if this is more or less what you believe, why don't you say it
like this instead of your normal diatribe?
Ok George, It's your turn to respond. Remember what you have learned
so far:
1. Complete sentences
2. Spell Check
3. None of your sexual fantasies
4. Read and Comprehend before responding
