Not very nice George :->

I don't C any initials after my name.
I avoid argumentun ad homineum
I don't teach deep air or advocate it
I just like that facts be set out & discussed from all possible aspects

Now if we are going to get scurrilous & not face the facts, but sling 
feces w/o a basis, then there really is no reason to continue the 
discussion.

It is disappointing, nay disgusting that anytime there is a 
counterpoint, discussion ceases and it becomes name calling, a tyrade.

The fact remains - advocating heliox at the 140-160 range may not have 
the broadest application in scuba diving.  It is possible that given 
the special circumstances that cave divers deal with tere may be 
grounds to prefer it and require that all participants be trained such. 

However one has to truly demonstrate the need for it in any other 
environment.  

Is it possible that your tenets may not extrapolate to other 
environments w/o modification?

I think you should think about that.
Incidentally, don't worry about being nice - we old guys can handle it
