ok ok  Now you will both come and say that D400 is bullshit , so why dont you
say
that Jim Bowden is also a stroke he is being using it for record dive
explorations ?

But im supriced you didnt mention the good ones , you know why because if i was
asking
we all know the answer.  And im explaining my self : It is not only me that i am
saying that
that this list serves many many Marketing purposes , You people just swear to
anyone that uses anything
thats different with you and here is some email i collect for many people that
sometimes they were respectable here
and the other day your kind was treading them like shit. Here is some example
from people joining the list :

Everyone on this
> list knows better how to dive than everyone else on the list.

 >I am an English lurker on the list, and I find the
level of discourse pursued by some of the Americans to be infantile and
indicative of a personality disorder. You asked a reasonable question. I
hope you got a reasonable answer from somebody.
Might I suggest subscribing to scuba-uk (mail 'subscribe scuba-uk' to
majordomo@dr*.ne*) for a more civilised discussion of the same topics,
amongst grown-ups, without the flaming.

>and they are very quick to "flame" anyone who expresses a
contrary opinion.

>Oh boy are you going to get fried for this question, Manos   :-)     Better
start ducking now.   BTW, I use a computer myself but don't tell anyone.

I have hundrets of messages like that which i can forward every day but i dont
think
that this is the point of this list. You idiots have to learn to respect other
people.
I have been subscribed to many many email list on different subjects but believe
me
that the way of conversation here is worse  than anything and anywhere else.
To be fare i learn a few things from some very respectable people but the "ego
divers "
here are alot comparing to the decent ones.  I prefer to be a respectable man
and
a stroke rather than being one of  your kind

"the best diver underwater  ( as you thing ) and a Dick head on surface ".
