Phi-

Lets face it, there is no amount of "overfilling" a 120 which will give 
you a decent margin of safety for both you and your buddy on a real 
decompression dive. You need to have rule of thirds and enough back gas 
to Deco out on if you loose your stage.

Phi, Von is trolling us with this stupidity, I'm sure he's having fun. I 
just hope that the lurkers out there realize this and don't actually go 
out and do something this stupid.
