Put that way I completely agree.

You didn't offend me. I appreciate criticism, good or bad. At least you are
taking the time. To me and the people I dive with the sticker does serve a
purpose. It shows "we" support a standard and we are willing to follow it.

I do not like that big ass nitrox cylinder wrap. But we use a VIP sticker
showing once a year we are cleaning and servicing are tanks and valves, more
often if needed. For me this has been more about following a standard than
arguing whether a sticker means anything or not. I guess that's up to the
individual diver.

Safe diving,
Rich Gulley
