I guess us stoopid "Colonials" just miss the irony of some Brits (Never like
Benny Hill that much either...btw).  I tend to take someone with an e-mail
like "divebimbo" at face value most of the time.  Especially after they
argue about isolating doubles using suicide caribiners in a cave, while
diving solo.  Maybe there should be a Rule Number One to accepting e-mail?

Silly me...stoopid colonial.
