Black, the list awaits to hear your explanation of how you determine the
gradient factors.  Of course you won't answer this easy question as you
don't know, don't use a deco program and accuse me of using a computer. You
must have taken the hypocritical oath, not the Hippocratic.

Come on, Black, you are a laughing stock of the entire diving community. You
are a baffoon, a caricature of the typical wannabe techdiver. How do you
stand it? You are like the clown at the county fair you knock into the
bucket of water by tossing a ball at the bullseye. The only difference is
you keep pulling the lever yourself.

At this point you would not be able to dive with anybody on planet earth,
even the non-DIR divers would follow rule #1 if they saw you coming down the
dock. How do you stand it?
