Sorry, Quasimodo, you don't get to make the choices.  When I talk
respectfully of my original instructor or George or my dive buds, that isn't
ass-kissing, that's sincere regard for their skills and their willingness to
share what they've learned.

If you can find a more successful group of cave divers than the WKPP working
today, please tell me who they are -- I'll pay attention to what they have
to say. If you think listening, learning, adapting and changing are somehow
the signs of an ass-kisser and/or a neophyte then you are indeed a very
strange and misguided individual. Either that or you need a dictionary.

Personally, I think you're letting your rancor towards George make you sound
stupider than you probably actually are. So tell me, of the two choices,
pissed off or stupid, which are you -- or is it both?

Come to think of it, I don't get to make the choices either . . . .

So you want to control who posts? Only people who agree with you are
acceptable, I suppose? Yes, people who speak up in a discussion do prolong
it, that's true (geez) . . . but then, you can quit any time you wish.

So take a deep breath, get that distracting image of George's ass out of
your head and chill, go diving. It should help you relax if you do it right.

Quasimodo was deaf, you don't have to be. I think everyone here has the same
goal, safe and effective technical diving. It's just that there are a lot of
strange and poorly thought-out ideas of how to get there. You'll have more
success if you challenge ideas and not people.

BTW, facts don't get prolonged, arguments do.
