I like to think that I, also, am one of those. "Kinda reesonable" in the vernacular described by our own George, as in "Farm Animal Stupid." There are already many who have suggested to you that you should pull your head in, some in fairly "progressive" language and some, like Strike, politely. Strike, BTW, has quite likely forgotten about more dives than you will ever contemplate and, no, there is no collusion. This is a public list, let me repeat PUBLIC. It is NOT moderated and this means that you have no right, whatever, to put your semantics, your ideas of what is right and wrong. Some lists are polite, a post from me to this list at about this time about another list asks that people should be polite on that other list, which happens to be that list's way of doing things. Yet that list also is not moderated. But it is the way that THAT list operates, and if a "Georgeian" (sorry George) were to happen on that list there would be furore and it would be resolved VERY quickly. This list, the Tech-Diver list has a close to "anything goes" policy and if you, Grant, can't like it, then you shouldn't lump it and get the hell out of it. GOOD BYE. You, Grant, are becoming a nuisance, dare I say it, a BLOODY nuisance? Too many people are getting heartily sick and tired of you and threads associated with you, which you continue to perpetrate; perhaps we might actively suggest to the list owner to bar you? After all, the bandwidth when compared to its value as a diver related information service is getting way over the top. You are the principal cause of that.
