Subject: Re: Making Asses
Peter
Thanks for stating the obvious.
It's also obvious that George has some deep seated psychological problem with
any
opinion that differs from his own. He even carries this phobia into discussions
on topics of which he has little or no expertise or formal training, such as the
resuscitation issue.
Any valid point or discussion that might criticize or improve his precious DIR
will not be tolerated.
George should stick to what he knows best, holes in the ground, and let the real
ocean divers do what they know best.
