Lee Bell the nazi swimmer

He don't like it when you don't go to an instructor and learn there.
If you don't he might show up at your house!

Responding inline to the points that you make is considered good style
on USENET... Snipping out the irrelevent text is also considered good
style...

Are they someone who can rescue you if you screw up? If all they can
do is call 911, the odds are, you're screwed...

Maybe if you're not being an ass about it, but re-read how he
responded. Would you like someone to say "you figure incorrectly".
He's an asshole. He may be your friend that's why it doesn't seem like
anything to you, but it's annoying when someone answers like a twat
like that, and it's rude.

Yes I have people who have won medals for rescuing people from pools
so don't worry about that. Go bust someone else's balls.

You should stop worrying about me, and start worrying about being a
Nazi swimmer.

If he was a Nazi swimmer, why should HE worry about it?
