Richie, before you started diving is the correct answer, unless you
started at about age 2. I will be glad to pull the scorecard on you and
run through some of the more ridiculous stuff, if that will help jog
your memmory.

The difference between me and you is that I lack anything to prove to
anyone, and when I do something wrong , like deco on air, or when I find
something better, I make the change and admit my mistake and talk about
why.

You clearly do not. You are more like a land crab who backs into the
corner with his claws up. In fact, you were still in a wheelchair from
one of your 220 air bounces when I set a record for distnace in a deep
cave on trimix.  

Ask Mount - he was on the boat when I did one of my first trimix dives,
and he told everyone to ignore me ( and still does ), that I was nuts
and that I would get "helium bends" like Hal Watts did. A few years
later he started IANTD.

You were about 15 then, big time.
