Your tanks should be marked so that both YOU AND YOUR BUDDY know what 
is in the tanks. ANYONE CAN MAKE A MISTAKE. Mistakes kill. If you 
screw up and are breathing the wrong gas at depth (50/50 at 110', 
wait, that's a bail out gas so it's ok :-), if your tanks are marked 
properly, there is a chance your buddy can notice it, see it, and 
save your life.

Please don't try to tell me that you never make mistakes.

Mine which are properly marked so my buddies can read what I'm using.

I guess your signature does say it all.
