<Snipped for 5 minutes getting rid of the useless bullshit...>

Karl,

Remember that it was you who prefaced your first e-mail with a disclaimer
that you didn't understand one of the basic concepts of decompression (the
oxygen window and its relevance/effects) and then are trying to flame Jim's
ass for not telling you what you want to hear. As it has been explained to
you by SEVERAL different people, there is a lot more to decompression than
actual dive runtime and saving two or even five minutes. The real trick is
to be able to walk away from EVERY dive with minimal damage to the body. It
has been discovered that bubbles are a problem (by a guy named Haldane in
1908) and Nitrogen buildup is also a problem (by many others than just the
WKPP). Being a programmer I know that there are many different ways to get a
computer program to give the output you think you want. Unfortunately
decompression is performing hyperbaric experiments on your body and an
unsuccessful experiment can have grave consequences (pun intended).
