Well Mr. Starck, I have no idea who you are, but I am not too impressed
with your remarks.  I must confess that I dive a straight DIR rig and I am
no goose-stepping, mindless drone.  I happen to be a rather sceptical
engineer that converted to DIR from hose stuffing, butt mounting
configuration after the benefits of DIR were explained to me logically.
Science, experiment, reason, etc have everything to do with it and that's
why I rig the way I do.

Believe me, if anyone could give me a reasoned, logical argument that
showed another way is better then I would change in a minute.  Got any
comments or arguments, other than personal slurs?
