Slow down, there, Chief.  You should consider yourself pretty lucky that I
don't step in every time you lie about other people, or else our usual
"game" would dominate the traffic on the list. But when you lie about me
(=everytime you mention my name on the list), you know that I can't let it
go.  I have no recollection of ever getting bends symptoms after any
45-minute
dive to 90 feet.  Maybe you're confusing it with the time I got bends
symptoms
after a dive where I spent twice that much time at depths 10-40 feet deeper?
That
was a decompression dive, and I had to discard two-thirds of the required
deco due
to unexpectedly unfriendly "natives".

Now, be a big boy, stick your tail between your legs, and leave me out of
it.
