Yes, I did throw in the ballvalve because as far as I know this is =
the only known incident in recorded history where oxygen was fingered =
directly as the cause of a problem to a scuba diver.

If you or anyone else can post some first hand reports of incidents =
of where oxygen has smited a no-good rule ignoring social devient =
like me, I will be sure to "stick in in there" but good in next post =
on the subject.

But, in spite of repeated requests from me and others on this list, =
no one seems to be able to come up with first person/substantiated =
reports of the hideous O2 horror rearing it's ugly head and causing =
father/motherless children to aimlessly wander the streets, =
panhandling for their next meal.

But of course don't let that little detail stop you from jousting =
invisible monsters, as a matter of fact I think I will look into a =
job of creating rules to protect us stupid dumbfuck divers from =
ourselves, whatever they might be. It appears to be a lucrative =
business. The question is, what comes first, the rules or the =
problems? Gimme a leg up here, Chuck. Inquiring minds want to know...
