Moron. Gee! That's literacy for you. I guess you're much more intelligent than some though. At least you don't resort to calling people "strokes". Moron is much more flattering > Do you know what a "system" is? Do you understand the concept of interrelating parts? Yes. Did you hear me? YES! I do understand a system. Yes I do understand the concept of interrelating parts. > Can you grasp the theory that there is a reason for a configuration? Well, Jim did you miss something? My point exactly. Your configuration may possibly be perfect and I am sure it is for you and the type of diving you do but what are you trying to say? That you are the only person in the world that knows how to configure gear for a reason? Or should that crown go to Geoff Bentley as he claims? By the way, didn't I say I agreed with and practiced the Hogarthian principle or did you conveniently miss this point also? >I realize the Scuba is the sport of anecdotal evidence, where people blindly follow stupid rules.... Again my point exactly. I am not making the point that this principle is a stupid one. I am making the point that some people blindly follow the principle to the letter, i) without even knowing why ii) without having good reason iii) or when circumstances require a different solution or approach. >.....feeling guilty or something? Now I think I have missed your point. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send list subscription requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
