Gosh, Dave, you sure are an effective debater. Now how about some info? How about some pithy, solid information which will help us be better techdivers? I think that everybody has the message now that you don't like George's delivery style. So you can stop beating that horse. I will have to say that personally I will take substance over style any time. So come on, Dave, open the tap of your mountain of diving knowledge, tell us how you dive, how you plan. Tell us what we are doing wrong. Explain how to do it right. Help us, Dave, contribute something for Christ's sake.
