I have to agree.  Trey already knows that I'm not a kiss ass, and 
maybe I'm even one of the people who've demanded "proof".  However, I 
keep a folder of diving messages that I think might be useful in the 
future, and 80% of what's in there comes from Trey.  Some of them are 
even answers I eventually got after demanding "proof".  Even those of 
us who are fairly pig-headed will come around if given the 
opportunity to challenge the system, because the system works so 
well.  I think it's just part of accepting a new system, for some of 
us.  We just need to put it through the wash once and see if it holds 
up.  I can certainly understand that this is tiresome for those who 
have already figured it out, and who feel that if they've done the 
BIG dives using this system, they shouldn't have to justify it to 
those of us playing in the bathtub.

Then of course, there are those who just want to challenge DIR 
because it interferes with their own "religion".  I don't see it that 
way.  It's life support, you use what works best.  Period, end of 
story.  As far as I'm concerned, that happens to be DIR.  The reason 
I know is that it has withstood trial by fire.

Cheers.
