I have been enLIGHTened .. have you? Those who give out free advice to
others should set an example and follow through with it themselves.

ie Why, after thinking you have done with this, have YOU stoked this flame
war even more by posting futher emails on the topic.

It takes TWO to tango & it is time many of the protagonists put their egos
to bed & posted a little more on scuba related topics instead of egging on
others to join in the punchup.

It is reasonable that those who have a legit reason to defend themselves do
so but when you all draw it out so much it becomes distasteful in
content .. then try to keep score with punch-lines filled with sarcasm
against the poster you are originally complaining about .. well I dont know
about the rest of you but that really turns me off.

I would like to dive with all of you sometime in the future .. but I hate
all the bickering, bitching, and so on. There is no need for it if some
didnt continually bait specific people all the time just to get their kicks.
Enough is enough guys .... and I hope by the end of this day THIS TOPIC
doesnt appear any more.
