I agree 100 %. I also expressly indicated that I was posting what I do and that it may not work for others, I also expressly pointed out that following these profiles could, and probably would result in harm. I think I have made this abundantly clear. I have told nobody what tables to use. If this is not clear, please feel free to contact me privately. Now then, having said that, I suggest you all do as the good Capt. says and stick your heads as far up your asses as possible and completely ignore everything new that is going on around you. It is the only way to be safe. Go back to horsecollars, double hose regs, deep air, etc., etc., etc. To the list... Guys like this are why I get pissy when I post.
