I've watched these posts and they run border line to maybe causing someone
to hurt their self.
Mike like most on this list uses the programs available to him (Decom ,
Abyss, ect.) And now he is being told to make his own , that these tools
are wrong.Most on this list do not have the time , resources, training, and
skill to come up with personalized tables other than what these programs on
the market let you do.So what he should be told (and he knows this I'm
sure) is they work, but could be better.To tell this list to start making
ones own will surely cause someone to get hurt.This falls in place just
like many of the things I've seen on this list- - - 
Just like when Jim told a diver to just buy a set of doubles and consider
himself certified doubles diver ( Not picking on you Jim , just an
example)Those of us who run trips deal with this problem every year.And its
getting worse.This list promotes training on the net and some who get this
internet training get it turned  around or should not move on to tech
diving until a time they able to handle the mental stress of these kinds of
dives.Gear just like these home made tables are part of a divers tools , if
a diver does not have the skill to began with there is not anyway to
configure his gear or kind of gear to make him a tech diver.What am I
saying is this- the gear does not make the diver , but the diver is the key
to the gear.Proper gear will surely enhance what is already there , but
will not make him a good diver.Another point from a resent trend is the Reg
switching , at our last Vatech meeting it was openly talked about and a
diver following the posts had misunderstand the part about the second stage
being only finger tight to change it , he was thinking the hose at the 1st
stage (leading to the second stage) was to be loose . Just because you
understand it when you post it, does not mean that the person reading it
understands it the way you did.As I have said before You Can Not Learn to
Dive on this LIST , at Some Point You Must Get in the WATER
