What you consider useful to you may not be to others and I told you, you 
have no business or ability to discuss anything with me, you are also 
suggesting G cannot handle me and needs your help. Though I won't disagree 
with you on that, he may and I would do the same if I was him.
I live and dive in the real world, I could be like everyone else who post 
those clean, perfect dives. It is only a matter of hitting selective keys 
to achieve that perfect dive and they could also be really perfect dives, 
but to those who dive all the time and in the real world, know that 
perfection is not always achieved. One might elect to omit details that may 
look unfavorable on them by the inexperienced or untrained. I do not do 
that, so you see I cannot have an ego that must be stroked, I do not need 
the depth to obtain attention, my ability at much shallower depths and 
shear number of dives dictates the level of my skill, without that, the 
extreme depths I do would be impossible. I have survived were others are 
afraid to go, repeatedly.

The problem with posting nothing but perfect dives is, someone will always 
find out the truth, someone will always exaggerate the truth and most of 
ones time is spent correcting those exaggerated truths or covering them up 
if they are true.

The problem with posting nothing but the truth about ones dives, someone 
will always use it against you (even though they cannot do the dives them 
self), make it out to be worst than it is and often cause everyone to miss 
the real value in the truth.

There are 2 kinds of divers, those that CAN and those that CANNOT, I have 
proven more than once I CAN, you Billy are still one that CANNOT, that's 
nothing to be ashamed of, this list is full of those that cannot, sit back 
and listen, go diving, take a class on "how not to post "until you learn 
"how to dive".

You are an embarrassment to DIR with all your useless ass kissing and this 
list, remove yourself.
