Subject: Diamonds in the Rough
It's nice to know that since the provider of this forum wrote at 23.49
on Wensday all you sleepy heads over there haven't had time to answer, 
why schucks you are all still sleeping as I write. There are advantages to
living in Germany. Technical diving is however not one of them.

Mixing Nitrox in a business here, is still quasi ILLEGAL. No BULL !!! 

The point is: with the problems here, backyard mixing, far from suppliers,
              no real manufacturers, just middle men wanting their 20 - 50
              percent, no decent literature handy...... No GROUPS sitting
              around shooting the shit about this mix, and that rebreather,
              come on people, you talk tech here and the norm is, you will
              be the OUTCAST, this forum means more to some people than
              others.

The point is: these reacurring flames and rebuttals, slams and strokes. It 
              really is stupid. 
 
The whole concept of the net is to spread info, that's why most of us (I 
can't be the only one) HERE don't give a rats schwanz about these petty
personal problems some of you guys have. I thought the thread on the backplate
was 
good, the pony was long but the concept of managed air and it's inclusion was
nice.
Some times it gets tooooo technical for me, aveolurs and cell tensions.. BUT
hey I 
try and stay with it. 

But then one of you pisses somebody else off and is starts all over again.
Letters
I wouldn't want my son (still trying) to read if I left my computer on. It's a
real
pity that you have this knee jerk reaction. I don't see why you can't see that
not 
everything read here is taken for granted. If somebody slamms you, you don't
have 
to do an abusive rebuttal, if people can't see they should ask, and if they
don't 
ask hey who cares. As a Compuserv "weenie" (you get info from where you can get
it),
I think you "big boys" (you actually are you know ?) have just as much 
responsibility to the readers of this forum as you have had to your students.
Don't 
split hairs either if you're not an instructor, knowledge spread is teaching.
If 
one of your students (don't get started on the organization stuff ok ?) has a 
position, you explain, but you don't brow beat, and if you get tired of
explaining 
the same shit all the time, let somebody else answer. Do something, or do
nothing 
BUT don't get this forum shut down because of yourself. Some of you might be
primma 
donnas, but you are all diamonds in the rough.

I want to learn, and for me here is the place for knowledge. I guess I just
wish you 
would all stick to the technical facts, or those gleamed from experience,
explain 
and explain and explain but please leave this petty assed bickering for the
bar.

The deeper yah go, 
     the better it feels
