Dude: No doubt this person is not "DIR" or "Hogarthian", However, calling him a stroke this early in his introduction seems a little rough. Besides isn't a "stroke" someone who knows better and continues down a "PP" path! (DIR definition?) Many of us have lead misguided lives. Doesn't make us bad people (strokes). From this gentleman�s post, he is a lamb in a sea of "DIR" wolves! Sorry,I'm a little tired and testy, I just hate to see people pound their chest at others expense! You wouldn't want him to turn away prior to "schooling" him on do's and don'ts would you? If the "DIR" crowed really wants to show the dive world their "better mouse trap" is the best yet, you are going to have to be a little more diplomatic and provide answers and direction not SLAMMing and rhetoric! Some of you guy sound like the first year instructors with an attitude! I will go back to my hole now! > Talking about strokes.... > > > Dude, lurk around a little longer to get the picture > here.
