	Hmmm, well someone brought me up a copy of AC to browse through
from Birmingham. Now I know what you're all going on about. Reads like a
teenybopper mag (watch your six my arse!) but slicky produced and
exiting. Why does it try to make diving sound like surfing; big PR
problem if you ask me, or is that all the tech diving is?

	Apologies; I don't know the number but you'll soon work out
which one it is.

	Interesting articles; Rich's on IWR which he was kind enough to
snail me months ago. Zacaton; I can't apologise enough about the
postings I made to r.s. after SE's death, my only excuse is that the
information posted there before hand was innaccurate. The Wah Wah, but
only because I'd already seen the fall-out. I had no idea Romio was so
sexy. Even reading the article it seems like sanctimonious whining, but
maybe you guys do things differently over there. The comment recently
that people had phoned up to find out which course you took to do that
kind of dive had me ROTFL until I thought it might be serious. Dear
Christ what a country.

	In conclusion on that subject, you propogate information. You
use information. Other people get information from you. They use that
information. If you want to start talking responsibility you are getting
either religion or a lawyer involved; both can go swing. Darwin rules,
I'm afraid, whether the bible belt like it or not.

	The rest wasn't up to much; the head of Oceanic gave an
interesting interview but the 'rebreather article' was a waste of space.
Facts, gentlemen, we want facts.
	
	Nice pictures of big spacious cave with pretty things in them.
Nice to do one day, but not worth moving to America for; especially with
what a cave course costs. I'll ring the NCDG here first and put in my
seven years in sewage before coming over.

	Oh, and by the way; M2's runtime thing. Is that example for
real? An hour and a half in water for 30mins at 36m? Gimme my mexican
cavalry tables at once...

	Saw a transpac in the shop the other day. Saw it's price tag
too. Seen people in open water having surface difficulties too. Fine for
you gentlemen, just stop trying to sell them to novices, please.

	 Just thought an outsiders view might help broaden some
horizons.

	Twiddly pip darlings.

	Jason

	PS Has anyone heard from Jason Rogers recently?

	PPS Is anyone else suffering from double postings?
