However, that is a fair inference, I guess, since right after I wrote that >instructors have some blame, I say "ultimately' it is the student's fault.** Let's not piss about, Thomas. I referred to that post as your "it's all the students' fault" post since that was the gist of it, as you now admit. I also quoted you accurately. You wrote "As I have said in private threads with you, the students are at fault. The students who take these classes are adult divers, presumably with experience." >I don't know how YOU got the idea I was 'taking the piss' out of something else. >YOU did that. That is another inference on your part.**** I merely gave you the benefit of the doubt. I couldn't believe anyone in their right mind would decide, in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary in the last two major incidents, that the students were at fault. >Yes, it is simple. Here is an analogy about the responsibility. Thomas, your analogy stinks. Try this one: One technical training agency has one fatal training accident in the past year, another tech agency has eleven. If the students are to blame, Thomas, then one agency seems to have cornered the market on useless students. And of course, by your logic, it doesn't have to do a thing about the situation because it is the students' who are at fault. Is this reasonable or not?

Thomas, how long ago did YOU figure steel tanks & bondage wings are a lethal combination? >Sorry for such a boring, long, tedious post. That's OK. I cut you boring, long, tedious part out, as well as three pages of html stuff. rgrds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
