Billy, Ditto's and, The fact that George does invest all this time [many years] and tremendous energy trying to share solid knowledge based on experience with confrontational Morons is the "Only" tangible evidence there may be something askew with George's mental health... ;-) I believe the term is "Obsessive Compulsive Behavior." This is a phenomenal task most here could not come anywhere close to sustaining for the duration he has. Actually, if you consider his investment in comparison to how he's inundated with BS from the gallery... Is it possible George gets a "Bad Rap" about not being a cuddly, gentler, kinder, caring individual? George's proactive actions over the past several years would seem to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt to a sensible person that he truly does care about "Others" learning how to Do-It-Right and Not-DIE! WHO ELSE ON THIS LIST HAS DEMONSTRATED SUCH DEDICATION? ANSWER ~ NONE!!! To the "Gallery," why not try taking a seat, pull the cotton out of your ears, and listen to the man and what he says for awhile ~ it might save you miserable life someday ~ You may never appreciate that fact, but surely your family and friends will unless you genuinely "Are" some kind of huge asshole and have neither. If only each of you could ask that question of the "Hall of Shame Recipients" to date... What would they say to you NOW! Pay attention and maybe then the language and behavior will move more towards your likes. Ignoring and/or challenging George's experience and knowledge says volumes more about one's own inadequacies than it ever will his. That Is A Huge Fact! Did_You_Understand_That_MJB? My .02 cents worth stepping down from the soap box...

Why should they? We're lucky people like George spend any time at all in this forum. He doesn't get paid for it. And there's not a lot of satisfaction in fixing up other people's mistakes. He runs the world's biggest, safest, deep exploration team and passes on the learnings to those here who aren't too far up their own assholes to take the lessons. Read that again: The World's Biggest, Safest, Deep Exploration Team. And for his trouble, he has to take shit from close-call artists like JT and insanely jealous know-nothing do-nothings like Mike Black. rgds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
