Karla, these aren't the only responses you've got.  I'll forward the one I gave
you this morning to the list.  I've gotta crash... too much time in the
graphics lab.

Subject: Re: DIR Question

Karla,

I could care less who dives solo, who wears pink jet fins, who looks dumb in a h
ood, who forgot their weight belt... It doesn't affect my diving or my fiends' d
iving.  If someone diving solo off the boat bothers you to the extent that you f
eel the need to 'tattle tale' to the list, then maybe you should just find anoth
er boat that enforces strict DIR, or enforce option #1 yourself.

I fail to see the point of your email - hardly constructive.
