Credibility: I don't believe that diving deep on air is safe, nor do I
promote or teach it. But I do believe I have the right (as long as I only
endanger myself,  and donot do it in the presence of others that would be
influenced to do the same) to do as I want, dive as I want. Have I lost
credibility, certainly not among those that know me. As a matter of fact, I
have more credibility because I can tell you and anyone else that diving deep
on air is stupid and dangerous not because it's in the books or some training
program, but because I truly understand the risks having been there. I made a
stupid decision to do it, was lucky enough to survivie the dive, learn from
it, and pass my experience on to those that would also like to learn from it.
So as I see it, your the one who has no credibility. You are one of the
non-rational thinking people. 

You are a large piece of swollen anal tissue, otherwise known as a
hemorrhoid.

So,  why don't you stop looking to promote flaming on this list and get off
your fat ass and go diving. Maybe you'll learn something. 

Raimo.
