Huh?

Kinda like the folks who bash Darwin, but who have never even bothered to
read Darwin.  Besides, it's the intellect you lack; not the patience. If you
really had no patience, then you wouldn't spend as much time writing email
posts as you presently do. Nevertheless, I'll try to use small words and
short sentences this time so you can keep with the program.

When did I tell anyone that?  But, since you brought it up, Chief, let me
ask you:  suppose you get to your "habi-trough" at 30 feet and you're
sitting there breathing O2 and everything is hunky-dory....and then all of a
sudden your left side goes limp & numb (if you think it can't happen, then
you're more naive than you let on).  Do you:

a) Ascend to the surface and await transport to the chamber?
b) Grab your helium "O2-break" gas and drop down 30 feet or so to try to
relieve symptoms?
c) Sit in the trough and hope it goes away, 'cause to do "deep reco" would
be "dead wrong"?
d) Prentend the symptoms don't matter 'cause they're just "sports injuries".

The clock is ticking, Chief.  What do you do?  Oops!  You waited too long -
now your right side is numb and limp also....think fast, now....

Actually, I would say that it is far more mystery than understanding. And
your efforts to pretend that you "know" the answers do a great disservice to
those unfortunate souls not experienced enough yet to ignore the blubbering
babbel.  Ooops, those words got a little big there - did I lose ya?

Which pals are those?  Other than Joey, which of them have you "seen"?  Is
Joey among the "finest specimens of diving jello and endomorphism? Should he
take that as an insult, or a compliment?  Considering the source, I would
assume the latter.

Aloha,
Rich
