I'd have thought it was a normal part of a curious mind. Steve, liked your earlier posts about inflexible thinking so here's a shot in the arm. Although you're entitled to an opinion, it does help to have a few credentials if you really want a bashing by the inflexible thinkers on techdiver. > 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. You'll find plenty of zealots here Steve, stick around. And when you point out the error in their ways, it gets entertaining watching them writhe in their own idiocy. The behavior is predictable: name-calling, profanity, ranting, the usual juvenile stuff. > That does extend to diving, tech diving, recreational diving, any sort > of diving...

Look past the negatives Steve and you will occasionally spot a positive, useful piece of information on techdiver. It isn't a complete waste of time here, but the signal-to-noise ratio does bottom-out frequently. > 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?? This list will keep trying to deny you the right to freedom of thought. "We Kindof Prefer Puppets" is the motto of the WKPP, so hold onto your seat Steve and other flexible thinkers, 'cause the ride is wild here. Have a good one.
