  First of all I would like to thank George for his attempt at a
rational reply.

  Second, I would like to say that no technical agency that I know of
allowes nitrox or what ever mix to be marked in such a lame fashion as
is reported in Georges post and if this is ever seen, please call what
ever agency that the dive shop promotes and report them for violating
standards.
 Third, IANTD does not require the use of different regs, poodle jackets
on the regs, marks on the regs or a color coded regs on any equipment
even stage cylinders.  And to rely on anything other than what has been
analized and properly marked on a sticker that does not come off with
water like masking tape, neither comes under any ageny standards or
course outline that I am aware of.

  Thank you george, I could'nt agree more!
