Richie is one of my favorite people. Confrontational takes two. Nobody wants to hear they are off target, but the faster they hear it the sooner they move on. There just is no time for doing it wrong - by the way, Richie and I argued about bondage wings, and he now agrees with me. We argued about using rebreathers, and he convinced me to use one. What we have is access to a lot of gear, information, and opportunity, with a lot of smart people and good divers involved. We share that, but will not dick around with the arguing part. btaylor@am*.co* wrote: > > 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.
