Excuse me, have you ever been diving??? --pina Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 09:33:03 -0400 From: Guy Morin <xnet@vi*.ca*> Subject: 80/20 deco and financing. To make sure we are clear here on costs associated with either decompression option, the WKPP, or any other organization aren't immune to cost. The pretension that the WKPP doesn't care about the cost of it's operation is fantasy. Anyone who claims that WKPP has infinite resources is dreaming in full color. Any undertaking is sensitive to costs, and anyone who affirms that this is not the case is suffering from severe delusions. As a case in point, let us all remember that even the most extravagant undertakings in history, let's take going to the moon as a perfect example, are centered around the lowest bidder. Need anything more be said? If you were looking at competing decompression strategies for any project, this would be the first item of interest to the shareholders. The very basic lesson in economics is over, you simpletons who promote this myth that WKPP has infinite resources should stay in bed, or get yourself some coffee. Why else does the WKPP create organizations like extreme exposure, and halcyon, and guess but to fund their exploration. This is what they say, right? So, costs matter, and are likely to be fundamental drivers of their decompression strategy, and that, dear friends is just reality. You may not want to hear this, not even accept it, but at the end of the day, every organization on the face of the planet is accountable. In the end, it's all about financing their little project. Altruism isn't in the recipe. BTW, folks who say that cost doesn't matter, obviously can't manage. -- Guy ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01C01716.E1E0CF60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN class=3D860155012-05092000>Idiot, = </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN class=3D860155012-05092000>Maybe you can = explain to us=20 how a 120' mix, a 70' mix and oxygen are <EM>cheaper </EM>than 80/20 and = 32%=20 nitrox.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN class=3D860155012-05092000>Excuse me, have = you ever=20 been diving???</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000>--pina</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><SPAN = class=3D860155012-05092000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><B></B></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><B></B></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial><B>Date:</B> Mon, 04 Sep 2000 09:33:03=20 -0400<BR><B>From:</B> Guy Morin <A=20 href=3D"mailto:xnet@vi*.ca*"><xnet@videotron.ca>=08</A><BR><B>= Subject:</B>=20 80/20 deco and financing.</DIV><BR><PRE> To make sure we are clear here on costs associated with either decompression option, the WKPP, or any other organization aren't immune to cost.
