Well howdy to you JT -

Golly gee, I guess I got your number of dives wrong.  Pray tell, just how 
many dives below 150fsw have you done?  I don't want to get it wrong or put 
words in your mouth (I wouldn't know where to begin), so just answer this 
one nagging question with a number.  That should be pretty simple, even for 
a flunkie like you.

The heat is not on me.  You can try and say that I am the one suffering here 
and "twisting", but I think the entire list sees what is going on here.  I 
am really enjoying this.  I have been straight-forward, truthful, and open 
about my diving history.  You on the other hand have been nebulous, 
obfuscatory, and deceptive.  Just give us a number and we will leave it at 
that.  As I stated, even if you double the number of dives from your list 
and the ones that showed up as trip reports on VBTECH and TECHDIVER, it is 
still well below 100.  I am sure we all understand that there are some 40-50 
dives that are somehow unaccounted for due to you not yapping about them, 
being as modest as you are and all.  The truth is your website is more 
accurate than you think or want to believe right now.

By the way, who was your trimix instructor, what agency were you certified 
through, and what is your trimix card number?

JT, don't worry, we are not trying to emulate you or "keep up."  We all 
understand that this is not a competitive sport and there is no need to 
"keep up."  Obviously you don't.  I am perfectly content doing my "weenie" 
dives and documenting new, unexplored shipwrecks.

Is anyone keeping count of the number of times JT has tried to worm out of 
answering how many technical dives he has done?  I am sure it exceeds the 
number of his technical dives....

Your turn JT...I told you this would not go away.

Standing by,
Mike
