Subject: Re: backup reg - why
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 16:28:25 -0400
The easiest way is to get one from JJ ( EE ) . By
"hard wired" I mean so that the reg can't escape.

While you may pick up things from my arguing with the
rec scuba open water neophytes who come over her to
pick long distance fights with me, you are better
served to go to my website (WKPP.org) or JJ's
 GUE.com) and see the logic and where you can get the
things mentioned.

JJ has a Chinese finger type connection and I just tie
wrap mine in. His method probably holds better and
will not pull off the mouthpiece when snatched like
mine will. I'll probably use one of his next time I
break mine.

I hate arguing with these morons who invade with an
open water mentality as they have no basis for
anything they say, and no clue as to the whole
picture, and they refuse to read the whole story.

I am glad somebody got something out of it, but I am
totally sick of morons like the IHOP jerk yapping and
yapping with no clue.
