JJ does not use a loop and if he did , I would be the first to point out exactly what I just pointed out about it. The backup is for you to breath while sharing , you moron, and if you did get down to one reg, then pull the loop over your head. Screwing up all of the other benefits of a fixed bungee to solve some bullshit you have dreamed up in your neophyte little mind is not the correct answer - sorry - you are an idiot and everything you have ever posted to this list is idiotic at best. You just do not get it , you just can't see the whole picture, you are a rookie with a huge mouth and no clue. -----Original Message----- From: IHOPPOET@ao*.co* <IHOPPOET@ao*.co*> To: trey@ne*.co* <trey@ne*.co*> Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 9:11 AM Subject: Re: backup reg - why, was and still is logic >In a message dated 8/16/00 4:52:07 AM Central Daylight Time, trey@ne*.co* >writes: > ><< criticizing me from your > platform of resentment. >> > >First off, don't flatter yourself, I don't resent you, yes you have angered >me with some of your responses, as you responded in a personal insulting >manner rather to the questions at hand, but I do not resent you or what you >know.
