>> Phil, until you get off your arse and do some research you aren't >>qualified to discuss the Hogarth system, much less knock it. Whatever stage Im at, Im qualified to learn, & I'll ignore personal abuse for that aim. Ive listened, & you've yet to convince me. That doesnt make me stubborn. >> What's wrong with a Hogarth single rig and a sling pony? nothing. why is a sling pony better than a back pony? >> Plenty of Hogarth divers carry line cutters in place of or in addition >>to knives. You don't understand Hogarthian. so Hog kit philospohy is basically 'take whats best for the dive'? I do that, but my circumstances ask me to 'take whats best for a safe dive trip', e.g. ditch equipment-hanging-floats to make space for O2 kit and backup fuel can, lose deck space to A frame mounts to ensure VHF aerial is high enough to be effective, limit the size of the boat to the space on launch slips and the depth over local sandbars. >> You talk about closed minds and divine arrogance, but YOU display both >>AND stubborn stupidity that borders on the bovine. I study Hog and say my kits as good/better for what I do. You sit thousands of miles away and tell me Im wrong without seeing my kit or dive conditions. Who's worse? How many "nice arguments" emails have you had? (not "I dive Hog too", but "respect to logic and open mindedness") Ive got five so far. :-) P -- Phil Clarke Human Factors, BT Labs http://www.labs.bt.com/people/clarkep3/ > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
