For the third time in two days I am composing an email to you, the first two
I have deleted.  I do not want to piss anyone off as I see good and bad in
both sides of the argument (yours and Dan's).  I also like the honesty in
your recent posts.  However...

IMNSHO, I think you should spend time away from the keyboard and go diving
(i.e. STFU).  Moreover, use your Nitrox qualification and go forward (only
if you want), in your diving.  Gain more experience of accelerated deco and
perhaps Trimix.  When you have done this maybe you could ask some more open
questions and perhaps provide advice yourself to people.  At the moment I
perceive you are debating for intellectual fulfilment alone.

I recognise that there is some worth in your intellectual debates but these
are best suited on other lists.  Go there.

All the best in your diving.

It was a silly, rhetorical statement of mine.
I had proposed that as payment for me answering a whole slew of 
your questions, ouwrite something interesting and useful yourself.  
I later added in the offer of stating what kind of an engineer I 
was, back when I was a lot less up to speed on the definition of 
engineer, and believed that software engineer and network engineer, 
and in fact almost any kind of computer scientist, was an engineer.

At least, I think that was the sequence.  Something like that.

I took one of your comments as a go ahead, so I did.
Then, it seemed, you wouldn't.  I felt a bit robbed.
