site about this, *don't buy this because.........*, or  *buy this one
because.............*, as ive said many times, I know diddly about dir,
(thats why im here),<<

I'm gonna get yelled at for feeding the trolls, but here goes:

Grant, if you are serious about wanting to learn the logic behind bungie
wings, and damn near _anything_ else (diving wise, not the ladas), spend
some quality time with the archive search for this list. You have to wade
through alot, but if you are serious, your answers are there. If you spend
as much time doing that, as you have been offering etiquette lessons, you
will walk away a wiser man...

>>and im sure there are many others in my position,
lurking away, too scared to ask such a seemingly simple question<<

I hear this all the time, and find it hard to believe. Scared of what?
Scared of someone talking mean to them? Well, I suppose they could run to
Mommy and complain about it. I posted a couple bonehead things here, myself
(check the archives), and got thoroughly scalded for it. Big deal, live and
learn.

Now, either spend some time researching this subject in the archives, or
please be quiet and go away.
