You believe this.  You believe that.  You have a very faulty memory
and you are too damned LAZY (or too ignorant about using the archives)
to check on SIMPLE facts before mouthing off.

THIS is Strike's direct quote:

DS>  Don't be an inflated arsehole all your life, Lee!  Take a day off!

That's why I said I was paraphrasing it on what I said of Christian.

I was talking to Christian, Lee!  You not only have a very faulty
recall about the quote itself, you don't even know to whom I was
applying my paraphrase!

Of course I spoke for Strike, because I QUOTED him verbatim, in a
different post:

DS>  Don't be an inflated arsehole all your life, Lee!  Take a day off!

Did I misquote Strike about YOU?  Was that some other Lee he was
talking about?

But you didn't even remember what strike SAID, and you forgot that
he spoke specifically about YOU, Lee, not anyone else.

Try a new phrase.  For someone who can't even get one quote from
Strike straight, who are YOU to tell anyone to read back during
the last month?

In fact, read back over the last

You obviously did NOT read over the posts the last few months in
this forum as you claimed, or else you have a very SELECTIVELY
FAULTY memory about "almost nobody is posting anything of scuba
substance anymore".

That's true of you Lee, and you should have just spoken for yourself,
and not about others, Ron!  ;-)  Whatever happened to Ron Lee?  He
was sooooooo active about "name calling" just as you are, and nothing
else.  Is it possible Lee Bell and Ron Lee are really one and the
same person?  ;-))

Keep coming back, Ron.   I am very tired of you, your faulty memory,
and your accusations based on your faulty memory.

For everyone of your future return and gratuitous pick on me, you'll
get the same response (which I can't improve) and the ONLY response:

> Don't be an inflated arsehole all your life, Lee!  Take a day off!
