Its my opinion that the souse of your criticism is your own lack of experience with all dpvs in general. There are people on this list that actually do know about the Mako and how to dial it in but for some reason have not contributed to this thread. Your constant complaining does nothing for this thread in my opinion. Thanks for the debate. -----Original Message----- From: "Cam Banks"<cam@ca*.co*> To: "terry michael"<OEA51@go*.co*> Cc: "Techdiver Mailing List"<techdiver@aquanaut.com> Date: Sun Sep 02 04:24:48 PDT 2001 Subject: Re: Morons , bullshit and crappy scooters >You appear to be a little slow... > >Define where the misinformation is.
