    Enough already !!!
I have been reading though the various postings and I find myself a little
dazed and confused. Many of the comments do little further any diver
education and seem to be more personal in nature. Forums such as this should
be used by the participants without the fear of repercussions or personal
attacks from other readers. Though I am mere mortal with only a few thousand
dives under my belt, I am taken aback by the some of the attitudes displayed
herein by some of the more experienced divers. Having had the good fortune of
diving and training with many of the participants of this board (many who
used to call each other "friend"), I have found all of you to have something
good to contribute to my diving education. Though you may have opposing
views, please understand that name calling or personal attacks only
frustrates all parties involved. That includes the average browser who is
must carry a backup pair of hip high waders to get through all of the crap to
find any useful information at all.
    Let�s try something new!!! If you have something of a personal nature to
say to someone, then e-mail them and save the rest of us the net time. If you
have opposing views, then provide an explanation of your view backed with
studies, reports, or any other pertinent support documentation. It is
important to remember that both sides of any argument contain merit and
though you may not get the person with the opposing view to agree, you may
persuade others by posting clear and INTELLIGENT responses.

PS - I look forward to diving with all of you in the near future and it is my
hope that I will not called anything but "friend" following this posting.
