Subject: Re: Fatal Depth
Hi JT,

I'm aware of that now, as someone politely pointed out to me in a private
email.  I wasn't aware that Mike Zee had done it with Terrence.  It doesn't
change the message I was trying to get accross.  1 out of 1 is 100% just as 2
out of 2 is.


JT, I don't claim to be anything but a neophyte.  Does it make you feel good to
point it out repeatedly as you "expose me"? Is your ego feeling better now that
you think you've belittled people with less diving experience than you?

JT, I've said it before and I'll say it again.  You shouldn't ridicule someone
for being a less experienced diver than you.  It is nothing to be ashamed of. 
Diving is not a competitive sport.  As soon as someone becomes competitive, or
depth-obsessed, it becomes less fun and less safe.

Do you disagree with anything I've said?
