         Jammer,
            Not more labels, but the same labeling system used in the 
commercial gas industry ( no more tank wraps or dedicated cylinders ).
Everybody doing it the same way ( one standard )

    You are a "dreamer" if you don't think I can be sued when a diver 
dies as a result of the wrong mix at depth. It's called product 
liabillity. When the product results in a death, the manufacturer 
must prove that the person was made aware that they shouldn't use the 
product in the way they did. Go look at a nomal 6' step ladder. All 
the warning labels are the result of law suits resulting from misuse 
of the product.

We don't want Control. We want protection from you when you misuse our 
product and your widow tries to sue us!

    Enjoy the 1950's. It's obviously the time period you live in!

The world contains but three types of people:
            1. Those who make things happen.
            2. Those who watch things happen.
            3. Those who wonder what happened.
