   Bill, you mention that these guys in the agencies
are the longest surving technical divers. I for one,
was diving trimix long before Mount or IANTD were
doing it. I sugusted to them that they see Bill
Hamilton for tables and recommended partial pressures,
to which these guys responded that Hamilton charged
too much. How many times do we have to beat the same
dead horse? I told you where the recommendations come
from : they come from the oil companies and other 
commercial entities who have been doing this the 
longest. They also come from military applications.
    And by the way, I don't appreciate you putting
a private message back on Techdiver - that really sucks.
Now I will have to listen to all the know-it-alls who
think that NOAA's nitox recommendations are a great idea.
I think they suck,and I don't think anyone there has
any intention of using this stuff the way we do, so it
is a moot point. The part I don't like about NOAA is the
short exposure, high PPO2 matrix. This is poison in
the wrong hands. If you intend to do a 45 minute dive
at 1.6, and let's say your scooter breaks, so you swim 
out, now you have an hour dive and you are working. This
is why NOAA is bullshit. Maybe NOAA can sue me now
along with IANTD. 
    Bill, if you don't want me to send you messages,
just say so, I won't. Please don't put my private messages
on the lists. - George
