Kevin, Perhaps a life example may better illustrate my perspective. In the Army I was subjected to 4 weeks straight of physical and mental torture. Mainly this was based upon successfully < or not> following simple sets of rules and procedures. After this period I allowed to play with a machine gun on my own without direct and immediate supervision. The people who couldnt handle the yelling and the running and the push ups, couldnt add two plus two or tie the left shoe before the right shoe < and no farting about WHY do we tie it this way, why cant i do it my way, cant we go lie down, isnt this way just as good, i want my mommy,etc>, they didnt get the machine guns. Ever. And why?? Because they lacked the emotional maturity and psychological stability to not be a danger to themselves and others. I see the same problem people in diving, only nobody is there to keep them from their visas and their bc's. I dont think email is the problem, its the people who object to it that i question. At least a bc doesnt have a 1000m effective range................... regards, Al Marvelli Kevin Pickering wrote: > > > > At 07:31 17/02/00 , ajmarve@ba*.ne* wrote: > > > > > If you cant take dirty words and mean people, you probably dont have > the > > >mindset to put in to practice all the other things that will make you > > >successful, where sucess is defined as staying alive. > > > More rubbish. > > Let's make something clear.
