Carl, I greatly agree with your request. I have been debating the need to "unsubscribe" to the list do to S/N ratio for a long time. It is unfortunate that the quality of postings to this list have been deteriorating at a fast rate over the last year. As a long time member of the list (early 93) I feel we need to return the type of information exchange that originally occurred on this list. (e.g., in depth discussion on DSC pathology, decompression models, IWR, etc.). Unfortunately information exchanges on open lists usually decline to the level of the lowest common denominator (experience/knowledge). With the growth in popularity (trendiness) of "techdiving" (I personally think this is a very inaccurate description, and most people use it as a "merit Badge" (equate with PADI speciality)) the level of true knowledge and experience on this list will continue to decline. We may need to consider forming a moderated list separate from techdiver to accomplish the information exchanges we had during 1993 and early 1994. Folks, we need to seriously evaluate what this list is for!!!
