An aeroplane has wings, agreed, but they can be placed on top, in the middle, at the bottom, you can have the big wings at the back with small (canard) at the front. You can have one wing, two or three (triplane). Personal preference in the aviation industry. If the guy cant get out of a harness because of a previous physical injury then putting a clip in is no big deal. Not perfect we know but at least he can keep diving and dive as close to DIR as he can get. Cut the guy some slack. The trouble with a few people on this list is that the DIR configuration as a "uniform" is more important than any other consideration including diving itself. If your not wearing the right uniform you're not in our our club. If you're not in our club then you're a stroke. Jim you want to stick to things you're best at like maintaining you're web site. That site has done more for DIR then any words that you have posted to this list. Kevin -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
