You caught me red-handed looking in all those textbooks and papers. 
Good thing I wasn't stupid enough to include a 21 item reference
bibliography or something; otherwise I would have had everyone believing
that I discovered helium....Damn!

     Please, stop disgracing the medical profession by somehow trying to
BS everyone into believing that YOU know something about mixed gas
diving. You claim that your post holds no errors.  Perhaps we should
adorn your cleverness and regale in your wisdom.  Hmmmm....I'm afraid
that your statement, "If heliox were used in a dry-suit, isobaric
counterdiffusion'...'become disadvantageous.", is the mindset of one who
can't fully comprehend what they're talking about. 

     Isobaric counterdiffusion in a dry suit caused by the presence of
helium is an academic concern, not a real concern; and if you knew
anything about mixed gas diving you would've known that.  My statement,
that some divers have a misconception that IIGCD plays some adverse part
when helium is used as a dry suit inflation gas, was a polite way of
saying that you're FOS Black. You should have quit when you had the
chance.  Physical properties of skin as a diffusion barrier for helium
render your argument void of merit under the conditions originally
stated as well as its application to general open-circuit trimix diving.

 

     However, I offer you an opportunity to prove me wrong; and prove to
the list that you're not some ignorant pompous arrogant ass.  As the
saying goes...put up or.....   This should be amusing. 

     Oh, by the way, don't even try to give your usual weenie post.  You
do know how to site references don't you, to back up your BS claim?
