I believe that this original statement was with regard to the 
deterioration to O-rings that can occur when exposed to high pressure
oxygen.  And that we generally refit these stock regs with O-rings
built to be inert in that environment.  

I'm curious, Rob, are you saying that you have not experienced any
excessive deterioration in your regulators?  And that you don't have
them fitted with special rings?  How long between service for your regs.
