re your post on George's many failings.....
A few years ago I unsubscribed from this list due to George's total
inability to compromise, to allow personal preference to influence
configuration. A few of us had developed systems which weren't that
far from hogarthian rigs but even those small deviations were strongly
attacked by George. So I unsubscribed. Then I read several articles
about Bill Main's philosophy, looked at what I was doing and thought
that going hogarthian would make things safer and simpler. Another
person on this list whom I dive with occaisionally independantly has
come to the same conclusion. I then had to admit George was right. I
was a prime example of the comment made recently. A very experienced
diver having to unlearn stuff.
Moral of story for me at least is to listen to George and ask yourself
hard questions about why that team does as much as it does with as few
incidents as it has. You were completely wrong in saying George
doesn't exchange information. He exchanges tons but he does so in an
admittedly confrontational way. What would you rather have, a slightly
bruised ego and good information or a lot of the posting on this list
( I am a recently qualified o/w diver and want to go on and do Trimix
next wednesday , will I have to buy another reg). The one thing that
I'd really like to know is whether Rich Pyle ( who used to be a very
consistent source of information and seems to be coming back in the
frame) and George like or loath each other......George? Rich?
regards
Brian
