Subject: Re: Irvine & Internet
Robert, I am absolutely amazed that Uwatec has not axed the slob, unless
of course they have, due to the fact that his track record is so
abysmal. I can not believe he has the balls to show his face at the
doorstep of an equipment manufacturer and work me over, when everyone
konws that I put this stuff to its most extreme test, and what we find
that works is what the standard becomes, while what happens to be worn
by the deep air diver who gets killed in one of the fat slobs training
claases is the company that will get sued along with the slob. Nobody in
the scuba industry wants anythig to do wtih what Bret Gilliam is
promoting  becuase it will come out of their ass eventually - Gilliam is
too freaking stupid to see that, and is too stupid to see that nobody
wants to hear any more of his deep air bullshit - he is wrong and going
down. Manufacturers are sick of dep air, and sick of bveing sued over
incompetentce, which is what is represented in Gilliam's TDI fine track
record lately and forever.
