I dont need a pat on the head from George or anyone else to do what I do
thank you very much.

When replying to mail I use the "reply to all" button, so if you have mailed
George and the list, then you, the list and George get my reply.

If you think your recent posts have any affect on people's posting style,
then think again. Like I said you sound like a newbie, not as a diver but as
a subscriber to this list, and email programs.

FYI, I am always suspicious of divers who pontificate how many years they
have been diving and what agencies they have collected badges from. What
impresses me is what objectives people have achieved and how they went about
it or what they are working towards.

So, as Jim requested, why dont you tell us a little about yourself and what
you're trying to achieve, that would make far more interesting reading I'm
sure.

Best
Loz

    Ah lawrence, still looking for pats on the head ? ( i did wonder why you
kept cc'ing your posts to kirvine) - And I disagree with you - kirvine
posted today without mentioning *stroke* once (doria death's), and asked
questions in a nearly adult fashion, it made a refreshing change, and I hope
to learn from the answers - if he gets an answer.

    Hardly a *newbie* after 14 yrs diving, but I admit i'm still learning,
do YOU think that by insulting people and crowing when some one dies is a
good way to promote the dir setup?


>Post something useful or shut up.

    I belive my posts do serve a use-ful purpose, and if only one life is
saved by a diver seeing clearly the DIR message, instead of the guano, then
I will feel justified
