Wrolf,
Your insistance on underlining your ignorance with posts like the one below,
should justify creating a new category of stupid---we have farm animal
stupid, gilliam stupid, and the worst, which is wrolf courtney stupid.

Let me make this easy for a moron like you to understand. You do not have
the requisite knowledge in tech diving to make ANY posts on this list.  Your
belief that you can parade Mount or Gilliam around as having been "involved"
in making our sport safer by " alerting us to the idea that there was an
alternative to deep air even for the 130' to 200' range", is like "praising
the tobacco companies for the increased safety they have brought to the
world, through their disclaimers about the ties between smoking and cancer".
Just like Mount and Gilliam, they would NEVER have mentioned alternatives,
if mounting death tolls did not force the issue.

Wrolf, get off this list. Each post you add pisses off those that "know"
tech diving, and endangers those that do not. Keep going, and sooner or
later you will contribute to someone dying, by your obsfucation, confusion,
and general misdirection. You appear to be trying hard to be every bit as
dangerous as gilliam---but at least butt gilliam has had the sense to avoid
posting his stupid ideas to the list ( probably trying to prevent any more
obvious electronic  trails to him after the next deep air death ).
  You don't like George and his attitude. Too fucking bad. You said you
thought it unfair that I described you as "Dangerous on the net"....well
here is more proof.
Given your mentality ( or lack of) you would remove the number one source of
knowledge from this list, because you don't like it----Wrolf, are you a
Jewish Nazi or what?

Take your little mama's boy tears and get off the tech list. Go play on some
gamers list with all the other losers who prefer fantasy land to real life.

Meanwhile, I'd suggest any boat captain reading this, react to Wrolf by
banning him from their boat, as representing a clear and present danger if
aboard any dive boat. If he does not kill himself, he will be highly likely
to contribute to someone else's death.
