Gary, the only thing that saved me from bondage wings is that they did
not make them before I wised up, but I got stuck with other things that
are nearly as bad.

The other general thing that saved me from most of the severe stupidity
was that there was no such thing as "tech" instruction, and that I drew
Alton Hall as my cavern instructor and Parker Turner as my cave
instructor. Gas we self taught and then had the benefit of Gavin's
knowlege from his Navy rebreather design work, and Dr. Bill for deco.
Our first tables were raw Buhlmann in a DBase spread sheet and we had to
take the gas to get it analyzed on a spectrometer. 

I could save so many people so much money and make it so much fun for
them, but they choose to believe the idiocy.
