Subject: backup reg - why
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 05:51:42 -0400
You know, Jason ,I get so sick of smartmouth little
punks like you who know absolutely nothing
criticizing me. First, you have no clue what you are
talking about and have put no cohesive thought or
experience into it, and second you have not bothered
to read what I wrote before criticizing me from your
platform of resentment.

The reasons (S) that the backup reg is attached
around the neck start with the fact that this is
your backup and MUST be where it is supposed to be
without question. It can not be allowed to fall
loose or get blown back in a current or on a
scooter. But you would not know about any of that.

 The backup reg is also tight up under the neck for
other reasons. It prevents freeflow if it is higher
up out of the flow - the reg is upside down so is
already at a pressure advantage for freeflow. The
other reason is that if you feel lousy, like a tox
might be coming on, the strap is put up around the
head and should be just such a length and tightness
as to hold the reg firmly in the mouth no matter
what. This technique can also be used when diving
into an extreme flow situation , as in a restriction
where the water is being jetted through a small
space.

The only way to accomplish any of this is for the
reg to be "hard wired" to the loop. I realize that
you want to find fault with everything I do, but you
go get my experience and knowledge base and then
come on back and give it a try.

Finally, big time diver that your are , when you get
your pussy ass out away from mama some time and do a
real dive, you will find this out:  when you get
stuck or are in a tight spot and you need to go to
backup or share gas, you need to be able to get to
that reg by merely bending your neck forward and
picking it up with your teeth. That fucking reg
better be there.

Again , Jason , I know what I am talking about, and
you do not. I did not repeat the embarrassingly
stupid slop you pumped out to prevent confusion.
Anything that stupid needs to be in a email with
only your name on it.
