Gentleman, start your flamers!

Chris, I agree with you wholely. Christina's question was a 
good one and it's obvious (after the fact) that some people might
jump on it for reasons ranging from inexperience in these 
kinds of conditions to dreams of real world diving that only
exist in PADI manuals. I dive up here where the water IS
cold and the potential to rip your suit on a wreck is real
(probably see two rips a month). Generally people will rough it out
not knowing anything better. Perhaps Christina's question
can generate a better option. As for myself, I'm a bit leary
about blowing off stops especially once you've accumulated a
significant deco obligation. If I saw it was necessary I would
go the route of In Water Recomp because I'm a coward and don't
want to wait for the pain to start before I do something to
avoid it. Maybe some people like to get hit, the world's
full of weirdo's.

My 1.5 cents worth.
