Slander and Libel and legal action, *OH MY*!

This is just *SO* impressive -- anytime you don't like something someone says,
just run and get a lawyer; yup, that's the road to the future of technical
diving!  And to think that most of us have been worrying that the first
lawyerly-shot would be fired by an individual suing a vendor -- guess we had
that one wrong!  Looks like we consumers need to watch out, lest one of the
vendors
sick their lawyer-beast on us!

Congratulations, Chris: down another few notches!
