Subject: Re: Dry vs. Immersed pO2
    I was going to commit on this one also chief, but it appears that Dr. 
Mike will not listen, and I am to busy to aid in attempting to convince him.
    However, I will say, Mike look at where you get your information and 
where it has taken you in your diving; and then look at where we get our 
information and where it has taken us.  I would wager that there exist a 
monumental difference in the two sets of achievements.
    There seems to be a paradigm shift occurring in the world of 
cave/technical diving that is being facilitated by the WKPP.  In the last 
few years many people have realized that what we have been saying for years 
was correct, and have followed suit.  Then there is you and those like you 
(including Alton's friend, bored in NJ), why can you not see what others can?
    Just because you look does not mean that you will be converted . . . 
hell, you might even learn something.  But then again weren't you the guy 
that was on here a few days ago promoting 40% in a pony at 140?  Why the 
comment about McGuire again, that was covered.
