Hi Wrolf,

I think from what I read that most people were applauding your bravery in
telling about your "learning experience".  The criticism comes from wanting
to defend a system that promotes this, rather than learning and changing.  

>I would be happy to post other "learning experiences" on my web site. 

Never lick a dry suit inflator to get ice out of it! <g>

Halcyon!  Just go _look_ at it, the wing will decide for you!!!

I think you are going to be very happy with this system...

Dive safely,
