Nice little message, pal... maybe I am missing something in all this stuff covering badmouthing, profanity and all related subjects... But what the hell?? I also subscribed to this list to add to my current state of knowledge and I am still learning a lot, changing things, experimenting new suggestions (nice one of yours, Shimell - your crotch strap works great!)... But, better of all, I have a lot of fun reading all the "profanity" and "chest pounding" in here, as I still have my sense of humor... So, tell me... in your pursuit for your "resource on technical diving" did you become such a serious individual?? maybe this list is intended for diving priests and all others are missing something... But, if you can stand it, why not subscribing?? cheers...

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.
