Hey, Duane, imagine that, a scuba diver with an big ego. How bizarre.
Perhaps we should stick JT in a cage and put him on exhibit somewhere so
everybody can see this strange, aberrant behavior...

JT, I'm terribly sorry that you feel so threatened by little old me.  Just
go off in your little corner and keep repeating the "I'm the greatest diver
that ever lived" mantra that you seem so fond of.  It must be that when your
bullshit meanderings don't fly, you feel compelled to attack the messenger
for lack of the ability to post a substantive rebuttal.

Damn, JT... with last names like ours, do you think we've never heard this
schoolyard shit?  Grow up.  Or, at least come up with something a little
more original.

JT, I'm not going to waste my time pontificating on my greatness and my
abilities, as you are so apt to do.  Everything I post is based on what I
have done--not what I've heard, not what I've read, and not what I theorize.
I have never posted anything that hasn't come from my direct experience, as
limited as you think it is.  If you can find fault in anything I've said,
argue the content.  As I said before, I've had a unique opportunity to dive
with and learn from the pros, mainly because I'm willing to listen to what
works instead of proclaiming my own greatness.  If I can pass on any
knowledge I've gained in the spirit it was given to me, then I am happy.   I
have a simple system for just about everything I do.  Find out what works,
practice relentlessly, and never become complacent.  If you put half as much
effort into your whole life as I put into just my hobbies, maybe you could
afford a decent haircut.

>Let me guess, he's a
>Navy Seal too.
 
No, I would never subject myself to Navy dive training.  I'm a plain,
regular, United States Marine.  I was an enlisted grunt for a while, and now
I fly.  I only bring that up because the Marine Corps lets me fly aircraft
with engines that cost more than most people's houses, and they let me do it
with far fewer flights than I have logged dives.  It's amazing what proper
training and hard work can do when applied within a framework of tested and
proven methods.

> What a fucking joke..... Better make sure his checks cash
>before he does a real dive.
 
Here's where the real beauty of my situation comes in, JT.  I learned to
dive from people who are my friends and teammates, and were willing to
devote unbelievable amounts of time and effort to my betterment.  All I have
ever been asked for in return is my friendship and a little well-deserved
loyalty.  There are no checks to cash.  I have been taught, trained, and
tested by people who care about me and about my skill development.  If you
were taught, way back before you were such a dive stud,  by people who did
it for the cash, then I'm sorry.  You got fucked.

I'll be awaiting your triumphant return from your trip with bated breath.

Sincerely,

1stLt  DL
