Karen-
This excitment over me setting up a trimix page is truly unbelievable. So
far my home and family has been threatened, the phone is ringing all
night (I finally have to disconnect it so my wife and 1yr old can get
some sleep). Now people are trying to get me fired from my job. All over
a web page with trimix.
I have a feeling I've stumbled onto something which is a little bigger
that I had anticipated. You say that you have to dive a couple of hundred
feet to "really" use trimix. The point, Karen, is that Helium had
benefits at shallower depths. The more research into the subject, the
more this fact is held out. Time and time again, the limiting factor is
that "helium is expensive and hard to get", not "you aint diving deep
enough to use it".
Why are you, Bott and the other in such a rampage over this? What is your
ulterior motive? Why do the facts disprove what you say here?
I've really taken a beating on this subject, first on this forum and now
my whole family is under attack.
But you know what? I am more determined than ever to make this web page,
go ahead, ruin me, I will take my last dime and publish this page just to
annoy you and the other degenerates who are trying to ruin my life.
Karen, you and the others are going to have to lynch me or kill me. I
have not doubt that you loonies will go that far.
