Yep I'm sure. I redistributed it without their permission. They might even
consider that I have "published" it on this listserv.

Wasn't excited. Thought it was a good question. For MY 2cents worth I don't
care if they like it or not. It's information that I personally find
interesting, as I find myself  in those waters from time to time. My guess
is that they are too concerned about small timers such as myself. My sue me
comment was not really directed at your or Don but at AP. They would be
pissin' up a rope suin' me, because I have nothing. :-)

About to go do that very thing. Will be working some with cadaver dogs a
little later this evening. Will be doing the rebreather this time so they
have no bubbles to track me with. I was pretty amazed at how they were able
to find me yesterday....

Ya'll have a good trip...

Mike
