Pete, I forgot about the Fat Slob deep air big mouth arguing with you -
that was a classic case - you should repost that one on here so everyone
can see what a really arrogant asshole really is, and why we need to rid
this business of jerks like that.

 Pete, a couple of things to add to your discussion here: nitrogen
causes  damage when not in the presence of helium beyond ppn2's in the
130 equivalent range, and this makes decompression very difficult, and
the real problem with narcosis is that it is a judgement effector, and
it is not easy to spot by the person who has it. For some reason, there
is a masive denial factor in play here as well.
