You need to learn how to read this list. You will find that even in the
strongest of flame messages there is information. When someone is called a
f&@#ing idiot, there is almost always an explanation as to WHY this person
is the idiot. That is where the information comes in, and I have gotten some
of the best information out of this list that way. Keep an open mind, enjoy
it when someone else has to wear the asbestos undergarments under their
drysuit, and enjoy. You will learn a lot.

Subject: nice words? 


I am new to this list and have so far learned quite a bit. However I have 
been wondering, more and more with every post I read, does anyone ever speak

kindly of anyone else?  I realize this is a list full of men and women that 
perform skills most of the diving world would never dream (i.e., have 
nightmares) about, but in diving, arrogance can kill you. I know a few
people 
on this list, after my first post several people I know remarked "I see you 
found the tech list" and I have been informed that fights make up the bulk
of 
the posts. They also tell me, if I stick around and can wade through the 
fighting I will learn a lot, so I intend to stick around for a while. As
well 
I hope to soon find time to read through some archives, you can never learn 
to much. I'm on another list where the divers do thing most of the diving 
world would not dream of doing either. Yes, there are fights on occasion,
but 
not often. For those of you who share that list with me, I am referring to 
the udt/runhopeswim fights. To sum up I wish to quote a poor, bruised, taxi 
driver, "can't we all just get along?"
 
Thank you
Jason Miller
