<< idiot >>

Oh my God, your so articulate and helpful. This e mail just answered every 
question I have about tech diving, but hey that's what its here for, to 
learn. 

Oh wait, disregard all that, your being an asshole. I have one suggestion for 
you. Get the fuck off this list. I know I am new here but I know enough about 
this list to know that it is for learning about tech diving.  Let me 
elaborate. This list is for people like you, with the information and know 
how, to pass it on to people like me, people wanting to learn about what you 
do. I am willing to learn, so I belong here. You are not willing to do your 
part so go away. I know your one of the big wigs on this list, you may even 
own it, I don't give a shit. If your not willing to pass on what you know 
then the rest of us have no use for you what so ever. Tech divers are not 
gods, and your not super men. In fact you do nothing that anyone with 
couldn't do with the proper training and experience.  My post received a lot 
of answers I learned a lot. So obviously if I asked the right questions to 
get answers I can learn from, I am not an idiot. Drop the ego asshole I don't 
care how deep you have been, you have been no where that anyone else could 
not go with the right training. 

You claim you feel people should learn about dir. You say it could save 
lives. Lets say your right and dir is the best? Well, son, it would seem to 
me that the logical thing is to try to get people like me who are just 
beginning to take an interest in tech diving to go dir right out of the gate. 
Sound logical to everyone?  Good all you smart little tech divers agree with 
me. Now the next logical question is how do you do that? Lets explore that 
question. Do you do it by calling every one who has a question about dir an 
idiot? Hmmm probably not the best idea. In fact it would seem to me that only 
a "stroke" would do that. 

So we need to find another way to go about answering the new comers 
questions. This is just a shot in the dark here, but maybe you should answer 
them. Maybe you do it with a fucking smile. Don't assume anyone is an idiot 
no matter what questions they ask. I know very little about dir, so by 
definition I am ignorant about dir. It stands to reason that a person who is 
ignorant about a subject would ask ignorant questions. Wow once again my 
logic is shining through. 

So here is how the world works. Me and other people like me will ask the 
questions. You and other people like you will sit down have a coke and answer 
us. Or we will ask somewhere else, and we will end up training in another 
style. and when we all go there, your style will die with you.  I am not 
going to blindly except your word that dir is the best and safest way to tech 
dive. You are going to have to show me the logic behind it. Once I decide how 
I want to tech dive based on what I do or do not learn from stokes like you, 
I will decide with whom I will train. So far Trey, you have been one hell of 
a sells man for the other guy. You have hurt your dir as much as Black has 
helped it.  

One more thing, sit down have a coke shut the fuck up, reread my first post 
on the rotated Inflator thread, disregard the misspelled words, and with a 
smile answer my questions.  

By the way, I hate long e mails, and I hate the Jackoffs who make me write 
them. So don't do it again. Also, I don't like reading e mail twice, so drop 
my address from your send to:. send to the list. 

P.S. Re: rotated inflator?  more questions to come. 

Thank You
Jason Miller
