Lyle, two problems here" one is the usual respose to "hey stupid" , and
the other is IANTD markings are complete nonsense, and what is being
taught out there. If this "standard" were not so fuzzy and ridiculous,
and if Tom did not spend so much time doing anything and everything but
what the pros do, maybe we could get a little peer pressure going for
doing it right instead of doing it like a complete stroke.

The fact is that Tom and his gang will be watching videos of us diving -
virtual diving - if they do not soon get the message.
