Subject: Re: Sick of Rants
Right, ranting won't work either.  In fact, probably nothing will, as
it's hard to stop anyone from doing something they really think they
want to do, and they will do it the way they see instructors and more
experienced tech divers doing it around them.

Ranting will, however, make those exemplars refuse to use any DIR
methods out of defensiveness and spite.  Ranting is also the reason
there are so many lurkers and so few regular posters to the list; it's
just not worth the abuse.

The correct approach would be for DIR divers to write a book and promote
that; a couple of unscripted amateur videos aren't enough.  But "trey"
would have to give up his favorite hobby then...
