Those one the list pass it on to others who pass it on to others as DIR is _the_ only safe way to dive! Steve,,, Technical diving tends to attract strong personalities and you are figting a losing battle. The techdiver list has always, and will always (I think), be a place where the message is more important than the delivery. Stick around, you'll grow used to it but in the meantime give this thread a rest: there is no way in hell you are going to change anything. Many have tried before and failed. --=====================_3260087==_.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> <font size=3>Den 15-02-00 09:55 skrev Steve Orrell (At 15-02-00 09:55 Steve Orrell wrote)...<br> <blockquote type=cite cite>Its your [collective] social skills that, if I may be so bold, I am criticising.
