Subject: The weight of stupidity was air, verse 2
OK, Greg, that's the end of being nice to you. In my opinioin you are so
stupid it is embarrasing. Bill Mee was nice and tried to explain it to
you . Bill TAUHGT engineering at Brown University, and Ivy League
college, the kind of place where people like you mow the grass.

 You, on the other hand,  teach deep air, and are the single dumbest
example of an incompetent stroke I have ever seen on here, and I am
using what you have posted to these lists as my justification for
thinking that. I am not talking about your personal training body count.
You have no business teaching diving in my opinion, you have no business
running your misinformed, ignorant, dangerous stroke mouth on here.

 Listening to blabber and nonsense out of you has gone far enough. You
do not have the first clue, and your track record proves it. These lists
are about cave and tech diving - deep air and training deaths are not
tech diving. They are the domain of the seledt list of farm animal
stupid clowns , and they have no place on here. Shut the hell up - the
more you say the more you prove you are hopelessly retarded. 

 Greg, some of the things you have said on here are so far gone that in
Florida, you could probably be Baker-Acted.
