MG, Keep in mind this is a forum for tech diving not PC 101. If you look at stereotypes, we are all "divers". For some, that means all the stroke shit that can be attached to one body while still being able to stagger to the water and fall in, while for others it is the ultimate in DIR with extreme predjudice and for most somewhere in-between. You were the one that interrupted the learning with the piddley-assed bitching about a reference that simply meant that "you gotta be stupid to buy that gear". Lighten up.
