STRIKE!  (Not YOU, Strike. :-))   Now that was a truely
international debate with Jean-Marc about the proper Chinese,
Korean, Cantonese, and Mandarin ways of saying, what might be
considered Australian Spanish, "Arsehole Grande".  "dai see
fut lone" is the correct Cantonese (Singapore too :-)) way!

No need!  It's easily found in the WEBPAGE archives of Scuba-SE!
I am gonna be a crusader for others to use the WEB LISTSERV
archives, because it is so EASY to use and 99%+ of flamewars in
Scuba-L were the result that ONE party of the combatants misquote,
mis-attribute, mis-represent, or generally don't know the FACTS
that are in the archives, or what the other person said that can
easily be found there!

Yup!  Lawrence.  You posted in on May 26, AFTER I had already
stopped reading Scuba-SE because I had already started on the
Cayman Aggressor trip!

I married my buddy too!  But that was a couple of DECADES before
either of us was certified.  :-)

Good way to look at it.  See my reply to Chuck Shipley's post.

>Even if it's a placebo and it works, don't mess with success.

Hey, I heard you the FIRST time.  :-))

The Cayman Aggressor IV cleared the camera table on the dive deck
for diver to sleep THERE if they prefer to have "low motion" and
"fast getaway" to barf over the rail.  :-)))  Nope!  I prefer to
SLEEP in my bed, even if interrrupted by fish-feeding.  Thanks to
Sturgeron, good sleep and no urge to feedfish at all.

You were delinquent in your LURKING then!  NOBODY could find anything
about Sturgeron or knew anything about it (including Doc Lance) in
the thread you've gone back and read.  It was only after Sue thought
I had OD's that SHE was the one who found the webpages (in UK) that
had the informative info about dosage, side-effect, etc.  According
to THOSE webpages, the drug was very new -- perhaps true in EUROPE.

The pleasure is all mine.  :-)
