Don't be simple John, I am well aware this is a list of very dead divers and I also do not disagree with anything either you nor the others guys were saying about there demise. Standards of instruction and tuition are appalling and the whole issue should be tightened up by law if necessary. My complaint was the use of their names to quote "shut strokes up and listen". Call me old-fashioned if you like but in my neck of the woods we don't speak ill of the dead regardless of how stupid they were when living.
