Oh, I am very calm, roger. And I must defer to your experience, as I am but a mere Virginia Beach wreck diver. I don't think it is how much you know, rather how willing or able you are to "spread the wealth" so to speak. There are plenty of people who like to come on this list and tell us about all it's problems, but very few who are willing to pass on information of any kind. In a previous post I asked you some questions about where you dive, who you dive with and so on. The most you will reveal is "Caves, wrecks, lakes, quarries, ocean dives etc. . ." This information alone seems to indicate that you have a wealth of knowledge to pass on. What quarries do you dive at? which is your favorite and why? I have never dove in a quarry, so don't know what it's like. I have been in a lake once, and that was one time too many. What lakes have you been in? So help us out, roger. While my posts might "ooze with authority," your posts echo with emptyness, devoid of usable information but at the same time are packed with a know-it-all, sanctimounious implied superiority. Kind of like half the articles in that last DeepTek. Jim >Calm down Jim. I'm not your enemy. Based on our last conversation I >don't think you really want to engage me in rational argumentation.
