Did you think you paid your money and it came on a plate? You bleeding hearts will just have to try a bit fucking harder. You know, put in some effort.

No, you don't THINK. Period.

In your little fantasy you expect entirely too much of students. Problem is, most technical instructors are total strokes. So even if they did turn up and ask for DIR, the chances are they'd get taught the usual bullshit. Strokes are persuasive. Look at Rob Parker and Rob Palmer. Dead by Association. >>That's exactly why the case for safety has to be so loudly, >>forcefully and sometimes, brutally, put. > > I agree, but thats diffrent from childish insults, is it not? Grant, which do you find more insulting... a) I tell you you're a great guy while I sell you a set of bungy wings that *I* know (and you don't) have been implicated in several diving deaths, or b) I tell you you're a long-stroke, dipshit wanker if you dive and recommend bungy wings that let go the OP valve before they inflate fully and have been implicated in at least three deaths. rgds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
