Dan, Thanks for your input, but it is a waste of your time.

Roger wants to have statistics that he knows do not exsist or are 
impossible to get to. This is his lame argument to prove that TDI is 
innocent by no direct evidence. Very clintonesqe of him.

Our argument is pointing out the obvious, TDI teaches dangerous diving 
practices (i.e. deepair). Very simple, but apparently too simple for 
Roger.

We are whipping a dead horse.
