This cheesedick has been blowing his bullshit all over rec.scuba, but spared the techlist for some reason.......probably because he knows he will get flamed into carbon here. MHK, Miranda, have all tried to be polite to the cheesedick, but he will have none of it. I can tell you *for sure*, if it came to taking sides on this issue, I side with Miranda and MHK. Miranda "Mad Dog" has a very good handle on these issue's, presents them with the utmost courtesy and intellect, in a very proper and lady like manner, and the good Doctor rejected her as an incompetent as well. So much for his complaints about delivery. I say we hang him off the coat rack by his nutsack. "Don't answer unless you have 1,000+ dives" he says to all and sundry. I also lit him up, several times, and he refuses to understand what he is proposing, and what un-initiated readers might gather from his post's, especially because he finds it important to include the "MD" title on his identity. Titles buy credibility, even when none is present, which only makes him more of a target. I ratted him off to GI, as ordered, and he sniveled about that. <snicker> Not to me, of course, not to the techlist, but to the crowd at rec.scuba. And tells everyone that he hopes a potential pony user is not swayed from their purchase by ill mannered, illiterate, uneducated ruffians like me. <compliments!> Plus, I cant make two sentences without the inclusion of *profanity*!!!!!! Well, no fucking shit. I say we kick his candied ass. Me first.
