Subject: Re: Bent Diver at Whitefish
James,

You have no idea about what you are talking. Cobb is perhaps one of the
best bs filters we have out there against stupidity, personal
preferencism, doing it wrongism and all of the general idiocy which
afflicts socalled "technical diving".  He is a real voice of truth and
if you missed his recent and very appropriate post on the very real
problem of being lost offshore you are missing the best that this list
has to offer. Cobb calls it like it is.  Not only was his recent
vignette humorous and well written but it highlighted the most serious
risk in all open water diving.  That of being adrift and alone.  If you
have never experienced this I suggest you arrange for a trip up to
Whitefish Point.  Maybe they can arrange a special charter for you. 

You are apparently offended by hyperbole and baudy language.  Tell me
something. Does death offend you?  Are you attracted to roadkills and
other highway carnage? From your glib little comment here I am led to
believe that you find death to be a more "polite" alternative than
life.  
There is nothing polite about death.  Your voluntary self censorship is
a mindless poorly reasoned exercise.

Regards,

Bill Mee
