See my reply to Mika, immediately before this.  I DON'T like to
wear tight-fitting-bonesmuggler pants which will enable 12" dick
Geroge to smuggle bones with the greatest range of motion.

It's just as SIMPLE as that principle that there no reason for
ANYONE to PRESCRIBE to anyone else (except in a religious order
which WKPP is) what they should wear.   The WKPP desciples HAVE
to abide by unreasoned dogma.  But those who don't subscribe to
that religion can THINK for themselves.

But a thin person can PREFER to have his suit cut with PLENTY of
extra space;  and those who are so thin can PREFER to have theirs
cut MUCH larger than the cave cut.   It's none of the WKPPer's
business to tell anyone what they SHOULD or SHOULDN'T wear.

Ever seen the BAGGY pants the basketball players wear?  I would think
they can move MUCH better with trimmer pants, as basketball player
USED to wear.  The pants of some BB players are so long and loose
that they could trip themselves on the SHORT pant legs.  :^)

Hey, go sing your tune to the Boston watsatheirteam pro BB players
about the size of their shorts.  ;)   Or to all those folks who
prefer and DO wear loose-fitting garments (which I actually don't),
to the extent that they "rook mahvelous NOT, but lidicurous" to me.

But it's THEIR choice -- not for you or me or JimG anyone else to
prescribe, no more so than NO ONE will ever convince me with
REAL reason why I should have a 7' hose.  <This is not a hint for
a rehash :-)))>.  Just a repeat of a PRINCIPLE that NO SIZE bits
all, no matter what any religion or religious zealots say.

Righto, the most extreme Cold Water diving though.
Cave diving isn't the ONLY cold water diving that's done either.
