Hi Pete Wallace,

 >Steve, what BS!

Pete, since your e-mail to me on this and the content of this post differ 
(in content, if not substance) I take it you're intent on thrashing this 
one out...

 >You're dodging...What are your credentials that qualify you to make your

Credentials?

What is it that makes you so certain that you need "credentials" to have an 
opinion??  I'd have thought it was a normal part of a curious mind.

There is nothing on this earth, save in the heads of a few zealots, that 
states that an individual, any individual should not be allowed his own 
opinion.

That does extend to diving, tech diving, recreational diving, any sort of 
diving... Just how do you think the current level of knowledge was 
attained... by expressing an opinion *and* challenging that opinion where 
it seemed flawed... open discussion and debate.

What you seek to assert you have the right to deny me, that is the right to 
express my own opinion, has, in others, been responsible for developments 
in absolutely *every* field of human endeavour... the world over.

You, my friend, will not deny me the right to develop my own thoughts and 
opinions...


Have you had enough yet? Can we move on??
