Subject: Re: Argon and He
Dave this is some assininty out of the usual suspects called "isobaric
counterdiffusion" and is an excuse for why fat slobs get bent. They did
experiments on pigs where they had them breathing one gas while
surrounded with another. It is crap, bullshit, and strokefodder.

Rule Number Two - "Don't Listen To Strokes". In New England, wear
earmuffs on the dive boats - these guys are breaking new ground in
stupidity every day.
