Jim, this list would be a Star Wars bar scene like the IANTD list is if the
idiots were treated as other than idiots.

These dive industry types are all just upset that I blew the whistle on
their deep air diving and their stroke gear selling, and made assholes out
of them when they tried to argue with me.

If I were wrong, I would have been blown out a long time ago, just like they
were. Now they want me to be nice and tell them to not do stupid things now
that they have mostly been embarrassed or ass kicked into it.

I am not in the dive business, so I can say whatever I want. They can take
it or leave it.
