An observation from my side of the Atlantic...

I subscribed to Techdiver to try & learn something about technical diving,
as I am new to this aspect of the sport. So far all I seem to receive are
posts from the same people who have personal arguments & grievances which
are being aired in the public domain. I don't think I've received a useful
post which I can say has a learning point in it.

I do not profess to know how you dive in the USA, as your conditions are
obviously different to those I in dive in in the UK. However, could I please
ask that you settle this in private. This is now getting very boring.

I am getting very close to sending the unsubscribe request.

Thanks for reading.

Sure I have Jim.  I'm doing it right now.  Avoid JT at all cost.
