parallel between dive technique or club/people organisation
technique? Either way, top stuff.

>> Gilliam ... has absolutely nothing to offer anyone. 

His CV in the Diver magazine show preview says "president
of TDI & 14,000 dives". Didn't he claim 14,000 dives a year
ago? In which case I'd stick him in the pool for a bouyancy
refresher. :)

>I am sure there are Brits who are pissed about that, 

probably. But 90% of UK divers can see through hype & run on
common sense, not fragile ego. Those that dont lay dead or bent
in our murky waters after 'qualifying' with 4 dives in the red
sea. (dramatist? me?)

Being p*ssed at someone is fine until you shut your mind to them.
That's why IMHO you win the GI3/BG slanging match - "youre a c***"
will always lose to "youre a c*** because [evidence]".  :-)
