Know YOUR limits, and dive WITHIN them

I have trouble posting this ... keep getting "References" header is
too long (Article not posted). Don't know what's the problem in
google beta. So, I am posting this under a NEW subject -- which is
actually much more appropriate than the "long hose" subject anyway.

That was my most recent characterization of Hugh Huntzinger, resulting
from his action in this thread.

Your unfamiliarity with Chinese cooking utensils showed. <G>

There is no mystery. Lee is well-known (to those in Scuba-L and
Scuba-SE; and those who has been around a LONG time in rec.scuba)
to be what I've said he is.

He brags about NOT READING what I post, and then couldn't resist
putting in digs on what he DIDN'T read.

All I do is treat him just like I treat everyone -- fairly and
squarely. Quid pro quo and calling a spade a spade, and a own-foot-
shooting ostrich and ostrich who shoots his own foot. It's all
very transparent to anyone who has a modicum of attention span
and reading-comprehension skills.

You haven't read even THIS thread, have you? That was a one-time
thing with a DM buddy who has done more 300 fsw dives than I have
done dives. I do stay a little shallower most of the time --
199 fsw and shallower. And I NEVER encouraged anyone else
to try it. (See my Rule below).

Because of all the NOISE generated by Hugh Huntzinger, my SCUBA
advice to everyone is drowned by Hugh (and Lee and others) NOISE:

Know YOUR limits, and dive WITHIN them


That's an infallible single rule that fits EVERYONE!

Hey, I even DIVED with Darwin, and learned a few things from him!
That's the Darwin of the Equalizer Dive Shop in Cozumel. <G>
