Ok ok

I know since then from several private e-mails I received that it was not the
message that stung people, but the way it was delivered. It was pontification
and I have apologized for that on that forum. 
I have also explained to several people why I think it is dangerous, or at
least "challenging",  to dive past the 40 metres mark on air, since there are
now other options available (ie trimix) . Hell, even I did dive past the 40
meter mark on air in my early days, but now I'm no longer doing that. That may
be over-cautious, cowardly  ,or naieve, or just plain smart on my part. I
ultimately want to survive and do my best to minimize the risks under water. 
Staying away from narcosis is one option I decided to use. I decided to draw
the line at 40 metres on oxygen/nitrogen mixes. 
Being on these lists and learning about the accidents and all that, has only
made me stronger in those beliefs. So I guess I did learn something. ;-)
I understand now that I don't have the right to DEMAND that other people DON'T
do dives past the 40 meter mark on air. That is correct and I will not make
such statements anymore. But I feel I do have the right to express my views
about the subject, as well as on any other subject. If I get flamed, so be it,
I learn and try again.
Still every time another diver bites the dust doing deep air dives, it kinda
overwhelms me and I just have to say something about narcosis and deep air
diving.
