Chuck, I like a bit of subtle humor here, or well-constructed troll, as much as anyone, especially when someone else misses the joke and goes sputtering into an indignant response. Like when Ted zings G3, and G3 goes misses the humor and goe into a rant. Or when someone takes the "just fill with water travel weights" seriously and posts a lengthy explanation on the physics of how it wouldn't work. So it is with some embarassment that it suddenly dawns on me that I have been caught and nailed with your equisite oxy hazards/valuejet troll. Not only did I believe the foolish thing, I went ahead, just like all the other sucker fish I've been chuckling at over the years, and posted an indignant rebuttal. Great troll - you got me good. In my defense, I suppose I should say that, while cunningly wrought, your troll was really no more ridiculous that some of many other equally irrelevent tales that have been told to me, in all seriousness, in an attempt to document the horrors of O2. And that I wasn't the only one to be caught - it seemed to get Cobb, and a few more as well. Nice work! -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
