Hi Paul, Since your rather small intellect or your huge ego (I can't tell which) will not permit you to understand my comments, I'll explain them in rather simple language. You said << The whole "oxygen clean" thing revolves mainly around 2 points, lube and o-rings. >> Well, I've got news for you. The concept of "Oxygen clean" has absolutely nothing to do with the material of any o-rings. That's nil, nada, ninguno. Can you understand that? The o-rings may or may not be oxygen compatible, but that is a completely different question. It has nothing whatever to do with whether or not they are "oxygen clean." Now as to your answer to my other point, you originally said << As far as lube is concerned, almost everybody is using the O2 safe stuff anyway, because it's a much better lubricant. >> Nowhere do I see the word "technical" in your statement. But you now say << I don't need to, I've been there. Well, I've been to the 3 local shops that serve technical divers. >> My criticism of your ridiculous statement had nothing to do with "technical" diving shops. Of course I understand that to you, three shops represent << almost everybody >>, but to the rest of the world this isn't quite the case. And I think you'll find that the vast majority of dive shops have extremely little to do with technical diving. So in the future when you feel like an expert and want to dispense your sage advice, kindly keep it to yourself. I can do without having to filter out your sometimes really stupid pronouncements. Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

Do you understand the difference between "oxygen clean" >and "oxygen compatable?" Sorry, Scott, I don't know what compatable means? Did you mean "compatible"? Did you read my post? Are you saying that if you use the wrong type of O-ring you'll have an oxygen fire? If so, please be specific, I'd be very interested in hearing about a case where someone used a "non oxygen compatible" O-ring and it actually caused a problem. I have never heard of any such thing happening. >And from the second part of your statement, the politest thing I can think of >to say is STFD and STFU.

That is what they use. It's what I use when I service my regs. Scubapro specs it for all their regs. You must be a real cheapscate, if you go to shops that will try to save a couple of pennies when they service your regs, and use a cheaper grease. I suggest you go to a better shop. >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
