Subject: Re: Aspirin for Stupidity
Nice flame job, G...  You are quite good at swearing online, and making
attempts to put people down.  Unfortunately it won't work with me (and I seem
to notice it doesn't work on anyone else, either).  

I don't know if you know Rod Farb, or his knowledge/abilities as a diver -
but I do.  Rod is not only one of the most highly respected divers I know of,
he is also a great guy, and doesn't deserve that kind of abuse in an open
forum (as a matter of fact, I'm a pretty nice guy too, and don't deserve to
be called names).  My reference to your flame was designed as a joke, mostly
between me and my friends who know Rod - you, of course, were the butt of it
(but then again, when you call someone an "asshole" online, you somewhat
deserve a little comeuppance).  Somehow, somewhere, you acquired a woodrow
for Rod (I think I know where... Could it be something to do with a certain
ship...?), but that is between you and him.  Maybe you guys could stage a
shootout with powerheads at 400 fsw...

I'm not going to answer to your charge that I'm a "weenie" diver - compared
to guys like Rod, I am still a bit of a weenie diver, which is why I
subscribed to this forum - to glean more information from guys who have been
tech diving longer than I.  I don't presume to know more than Rod (or you for
that matter) about diving, but I do know one thing - I can recognize bad
manners when I see them.

So if you wanna flame me back, go right ahead - I'll continue to  scan my
e-mail for bits of good info I can get - I'll continue to dive deep (with my
CCR-155), and hopefully I will continue to learn from divers from all walks
of life, hell, I might even learn something from you one day...

And by the way, "my name is for my friends" as Lawrence of Arabia said to
Sharif...
