Oh, I don't take it personally George, you were bashing Dive Rite long before I got here. Come to think of it, you bash anyone and anything that disagrees with you or your choice of gear, food, clothing, nationality, sexual preference........ oh hell, lets' just say anyone different than you. It is safe to say I'm in a very large and diverse crowd. Have a safe flight, and I not-so-anxiuosly await your return. It won't be any different when you get back.
