Organization:
Goerge, keep your hair on, i did want the answer and i will be
careful with my new knowledge.

Whats up with this:
"I know what I am talking about, and you do not." ????
I am the one that has asthma, so advice me on the physics part,
and please dont start being my dad.....I am aware of my bigger
risk, if i choose to take it, thats my business. All diving has risks,
we just have to keep them acceptable. A bit like going to
18.000, maybe??            ;-)

And to ask, argue and ask more is imho the best way to learn anything.
