Kevin Flynn so carfefully wrote many things, which include:

>YOU ARE A JUVENILE, MORON AND A BIG MOUTH.
>ALL YOU KNOW IS CONFRONTATION, AND ARGUMENTS.


I second that. Frankly, if I wanted to read juvenile insults I'd go read
the usenet newsgroups. Irvine quickly got added to my killfile, and it
amazes me why anyone listens to his drivel. The fact that a man can
do well in one small specialized area of his life does not make up for
the fact that he's a complete ass who makes a fool of himself everytime
he opens his mouth or writes an insult-ridden, obscenty-laden missive
that nobody really cares about. The hubris and arrogance that he puts
forth IE: That -he- and he alone are diving safely while the rest of us play
games, is a laugh. I've been a participant in 'technical' diving for 25 or
more years, worked on a NE dive boat specializing in deep wreck diving
for 15 years, ran a dive shop catering to wreck and cave divers for 10
years, worked offshore as a sat diver and did 45 day long 1000+ open
ocean diving work, (etc., etc... ad nauseum), and I consider myself to
be a -student- in the grand scheme of things. So while -good- divers keep
their ears and eyes open for new and better ways to do things, there
are a few people that think they know it all and refuse any contemplation
of the fact that there may be a better way.

So, George, from all of us who are sick of yer crap: Bugger off. From the
rest
of the group, I ask a shunning of the attention-seeking whacko. Perhaps if
we
ignore him he'll go rant someplace else. It's a shame when what should be a
polite arena for dissemination of technique and sharing of camaraderie and
fun (remember that word, George, -FUN- ??)  turns into a stomach churning
mission arriving in email every day. There are -lots- of skilled guys (and
gals)
and -lots- of appropriate techniques that we use in this sport. The -one-
technique
that we -all- can apply here is a good dose of civility.


Regards to all and apologies to none,


Dave Sutton
