Always good to be appreciated. :-)

Bullshit Jim.  You done nothing except try the old
proof-by-excessive-hand-waving
technique... I called the bluff.  I'm still waiting.

The back-up bladder seems simpler than a drysuit to me.  Or certainly
no more complicated.  You learn to dive with a bladder from day 1.  Usually
you are less familiar with a drysuit and the attendant buoyancy issues.

I don't have to prove they are NOT dangerous.  I have shown that
as far as failure points they are equivalent to a drysuit.  YOU
have stated that a drysuit is beneficial as backup buoyuancy.  You did 
my job for me, I just had to show you the connections.  Thanks.

You're wimping out Jim.  Hell I don't care if you pass the ball to
Al.  That's fine.  Although the technique looks more like a kid taking 
his ball and going home when people insist he play by the rules.

Again, show without name-calling and innuendo how the second bladder
is more dangerous as a back-up buoyancy device than a drysuit.

Mike
