Dell, did you figure this out AFTER you sold the wrong center section
and bullshitted everyone about it? Funny, I have six of the right ones
and have always had the right ones other than when I made the mistake of
buying one from you guys. It is over at Brownies on the "Wall of Shame"
if you want to go see it.

You coming on here with "information" about dive gear is like Edsel
coming back from the grave and talking about cars.

You do not own a piece of dive gear that does not belong in a dumpster
someplace. Take seat and shut up - I do not have time to mess with you
today.
