This is a good question, I don't know the answer....  Maybe it's you must be
a current standing member of the WKPP, maybe you need to have the loudest
keyboard, maybe the longest dick (or the shortest), maybe sacrifice a
chicken......

Personally, this thread is putting me to sleep.  I think we all need to
spend less time arguing about what I would consider a BS specific (redundant
bottom timer) and more time diving....  A second bottom timer not DIR,
that's ridiculous, shut up and get back in the water!!!!! 

I think someone else said it a few days ago.  If you only plan to use one
light and you have a buddy with you at all times then why carry 3 lights?
Isn't your backup plus your buddies backup enough redundancy?  What are the
odds of both your and your buddies backup light going dead while both
primaries going?  Seems like the same odds as both your and your buddies
backup times going.  I would think that the 3rd backup light that you and
your buddy are carrying is non-essential redundancy....  A backup light is a
whole heck of a lot bigger than a pesky little bottom timer.  Is the 3rd
backup light less DIR (more strokish) than the 2nd backup timer???  Oops, I
forgot, it's either black or white, DIR or DIW.  Now, what are we going to
do about all those 3rd backup light carrying stokes....

Personally, if this thread is going to center around bottom timers I think
we should just stop it right now!

		So who has the right to evolve the DIR system. That is what
this threat is
		all about, isn't it?
