Let me try this again, I'll type slower this time.

The important point I was making, indeed, the issue that is, to me, the 
heart of this matter, is that there is only one person who has any 
business breathing off my tank.

Me.

Therefore, the tanks need sufficient marking so that *I* know what depth 
they are safe at, and so that *I* can identify the mix in them, and dive 
them according to 
*MY* plan.

They were, and I knew.

Now. 
For clarity, I will re-state my position.

If you use my tanks, you might die.

I won't accept any excuses about *WHY* you used my tank, and neither will 
Mother Nature, just don't do it. 
I would point out that it is your life, not mine, that depends on this.
Some of my tanks don't even have any oxygen in them, and will kill you 
quickly.
However, my tanks will only kill you if you use them. You are completely 
protected from this danger if you keep your paws, grimy little mitts, and 
other appendages off my tanks.

I will not consider marking my tanks for your convenience. They are 
sufficiently marked for mine, and that is enough.

Survivors owe me lunch for using my gas.

Take me off your CC lists, I can read your replys on the list, and don't 
wish to read them twice. Once is certainly sufficient in most cases, and 
more than enough in several.

Darwin is watching, which tank would you like to use?
