I've been reading the recent strings of posts and must say that I am 
disappointed and disgusted.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one.  The posts are 
simply profane and not of any use.  I joined this list to get a resource on 
technical diving, not on how to be a potty-mouthed 7-year old.  If I had wanted 
that, I would be a lot more eager to spend time with my younger cousins.
How can't you guys see that as soon as one of you started something derogitory 
that quickly turned into "I know you are, but what am I"?  Here's a simple rule 
of thumb, if you're about to send an email to the list, read it over.  If it is 
only two or three lines long and contains profanity and no content, change the 
address to that of whomever you're talking about and leave the list out of it.  
I don't need to know that you think that so-and-so is a so-and-so.  It has 
nothing to do with diving.  You disagree with what somebody says and want to 
post to the list, reply with your differing opinion to what they said, not a 
personal attack.  Personal attacks obviously have not been effective (these 
threads just go on and on) and they just clog up everybody else's email account 
with garbage.
I also have no interest in anybody else on the list's genitals and whom he
would 

like to have suck them.  If I wanted that I would have subscribed to a
radically 

different list.
Just to conclude, there's nothing wrong with disagreement if it leads to 
discussion.  From thoughtful discussion understanding and learning can grow.  
But the garden of knowledge doesn't need anymore of the fertilizer that been 
slung around here lately.
