Bob,

    I'm not going to perpetuate this discussion by doing a "Tit for Tat"
with anyone. I will say that it's *my* perception <G> that George has
reputation for the type of  response you quoted. It's also *my*
perception that it matters little to him whether there are (true) facts
or not to back up his responses. I have a high respect for his
"Technical Diving" ability, , , I have little respect for his "Character
Assessment" ability. I doubt if I'd pass his "Character Assessment", , ,
matter of fact, , , I'm sure I'd be labeled a "Hopeless Stroke" by him,
, ,and, , ,his legions of  Soldiers!! <G> Based on those beliefs I
(still) come to the conclusion that your use of the quote from George
lacks credibility!!

    It also appears as though you've read some of his "Body of Character
Assessment Work". <G> How do you think your diving techniques, , , your
diving opinions, , , your diving configurations would hold up to his
scrutiny?? <G>
