Next thing you know they will call DIR a cult... Does this guy realise what
kind of a fool he makes of himself writing this kind of stuff to techdiver?

Moonies or Scientologists, ehhh, DIRies, Hogarthianists.... 


Then arguing independent doubles.... arggggggggg....
It truly amazes me that people do not seem to read the archives first
before they start their stupid threads.
Then they get pissed because of the reactions they get from listmembers
that get tired of this crap.

I do. So do most of the people on this list. What's the problem?

Ahhhh, so this is your vision... Excellent example. For me this is the same
as jumping in the water without fins and continuing to swim. Or without a
mask and continuing. I check my valves (and the rest of my gear) before I
dive you know.

In my cave training my instructor shut my isolator for fun about 4-6 times
during every dive. And sometimes before the dive. Never been a problem. If
it would I am very positive he would not have certified me.

In my opinion you should not be diving Stuart, you are dangerous.  

Stuart, who do you think 90% of this list is calling an imbicile when they
read your mail...

THOMAS
