Wienke was yuking it up with me about it, so I read it while I was waiting
for the airconditioning guy to show up - Pina and I get it due to having the
insurance.

I wonder how the insurance companies would change the game if they knew that
DAN just makes excuses for why all the people who should not be diving are
getting bent because of some mysterious unknown cause. If we weeded out
those who should not be diving, the insurance would only then have to pay
for real accidents , instead of every fat drunken slob who thinks he is bent
on the flight back to Miami from Cozumel because his finger hurts, or the
PFO cases, or the weenies who dial 911 if there is time left on their little
computers.

Of course, I wonder how instructional insurance would be changed if the poor
idiots who are believing the chief agent knew what the real story is there.

Maybe this is a dumb question G, but what were you doing reading that rag in
the first place?  I actually had to phone DAN to get them to stop sending it
to
me...
