Jim, maybe Christina can get on here and entertain us with the best of the
best of her moronic forays into dive discussion, and then tell us all what
she and her idiot pals on the Seeker have done for diving other then make
headlines for disasters and nearly get it outlawed. And they are still
trying hard.

Christina- I think the point Bruce was trying to make is all deco algorythms
are theory until someone is willing to risk their body to test it and prove
it works. Yes RGBM has been around for a while but then HG Wells predicted
flight to the moon. Using your logic HG Wells should be credited with moon
travel.

The WKPP and others were Bruce's geanie pigs. They subjected themselves to
dives using RGBM tables and then got out of the water and had blood drawn
and doppler tests, over and over and over. They got into chambers and did
wild rides with sensors taped all over their bodies.

I don't know about you, Christina, but just the thought of being an
experimental tables crash-test-dummy makes my adams apple bob.

An awful lot of work went into this research and Bruce deserves to get a
return on his investment. Trying to force him to release the code gratis
using some "public domain" loophole is really pathetic, in my opinion.
