Having just been through a trip to the Duke Chamber with one of my sons,
I have added respect for Rich's willingness to share his experiences
with the rest of the dive community.  Just as Pyle is willing to
critique his technique and point out where he thinks he went wrong, my
son has been forthright about what he did to lead to his (thankfully!)
mild case of the bends.  As long as people like JT and Pyle are willing
to be honest with us, the rest of us will learn from what happened.  Its
only when we let idiots like MJB intimidate us that this discussion
group stops being a mutual education experience.
At least when people like GI rant, its because deep down, they care.
Enough preaching.
