No, Dan, there's that customer point of view again.

I can afford to run only tech, in Palm Beach or anywhere else.

I don't think you'll book me though, I'm charging $1000 per tank.

You're already getting exactly the service you're willing to pay for, the 
market sees to that.

No more, and, contrary to your opinions, no less.

There are no tech only boats because the market won't bear it. You and 
your breatheren are not willing to pay for it, and you're not willing to 
do anything about it, you're only willing to whine about it.

I only need 2 weeks worth of bookings for a 6 pack, and I'll be there as 
fast as my 69 Chevy pickup can get me there.

I'll let you, personally, call the sites, and you can tell me how they 
SHOULD be dove. I will have physically beautiful female Divemasters, who 
wear bikinis, and wouldn't DREAM of telling you how to run your dive, 
fresh hot REAL coffee from Starbucks, (a NW phenomenom), and a full Doing 
It Right setup on board for the strokes who forget part of their gear, 
and need to borrow knife.

That's how it works, and so now the question is, are you going to pay the 
freight for the Mazeraiti, or are you going to keep complaining that none 
of the Toyotas run dives the way you want?

Yeah. Of course.

That's what I thought.

I agree, we judge every day.

And, again, we agree about rights.

I just wish there was another word- a word for you to use when you mean 
"ought to be". 

The word "right" gets me all twitterpated, especially the way you throw 
it around.

Oh, and as a side note, I don't think you know a goddamn thing about 
bypasses.  :)
