Rich, a weenie dive is a weenie dive - don't expect me
to remember all the details every time you get bent -
I don't consider any of your dives to require more
than a safety stop and a vivid imagination.

Actually, the reference to your dives was not
dependent on the details,but only the fact that you
reported it. I was being accused of being an idiot for
getting skin bends,while you were being praised for
reporting your bends cases in the same post.
