A very long reply to Christian snipped just to make a couple of
my personal comments on Scuba-SE/rec.scuba stuff.

That's Lee's old favorite about folks not posting with their real
names.  It was in fact in a rec.scuba thread about names that I
told Douglas that he should revert to his old name Popeye.

We outgrew that old stuff about real names, haven't we?

Very true.  My infrequent reading of Popeye's recent battles with
rec.scubans was the reason I don't know his current phone number,
after he moved from the woods of TN to Hotlanta suburbs.

Whish only goes to show that:

My enemy's friend is not necessarily my enemy.
My friend's friend is not necessarily my friend.

I suppose we should exhaust the other possibilities :-)

My enemy's enemy is not necessarily my friend.
My friend's enemy is not necessarily my enemy.

Any other permutations and combinations.

In any event, the latest nonsense about friends and enemies is
just ANOTHER one of Lee Bell's perverted personality and bullshit!

Both my FRIENDS and ENEMIES have to EARN those labels themselves.


In mathematics, there is a number called the "Erdos" number.
Erdos is a famous mathematicians who is a mathematics idiot-savant
and has published and co-published thousands of papers.  Very
interesting character -- but that's another story.

If a person has co-authored a paper with Erdos, his "Erdos number" is 1.
If a person has NOT co-authored with Erdos, but has co-authored
with one of Erdos's co-authors Joe BLow, then his "Erdos number" is 2.
If I co-authored with X, and X co-authored with Y, and Y is once a
co-author of Erdos, then my "Erdos number" would be 3.  And so on.

We should have a "Lee number".
My Lee number is 1.  I am Lee's enemy, and vice versa.

If Joe Blow is Lee's enemy, and you are Joe Blow's enemy, then your
Lee number would be 2.  :-)

If X is Lee's enemy, Y is X's enemy, and you are Y's enemy, your
Lee number would be 3.  And so on.

What's YOUR Lee number?   The question is directed to EVERYONE.  :-)

Interesting.  :-)   I have not read ANY scuba related post by
Christian.  ALL of them were his posts correcting my spelling,
grammar, sentence structure, and his false accusations about what
I post in scuba-SE.  :-)

My clock time is up.  Will come back later for further comments,
perhaps.
