Giovanni, I read through your post, and thought it was quite a
MASTERPIECE of parody in which everything said was completely and
totally false and yet the whole thing SOUNDED serious and real --
at least to the uninitiated.

Then I decided to take a look at the web reference above.

    ma Giovanni non c'è nessun Cacasenno, soltanto caca!

    but Giovanni is no Cacasenno, only caca!

The article was titled: The mysteries of deco revealed from Cacasenno,
and Cacasenno is indeed an Italian who writes about decompression
theory, but Giovanni is NOT Cacasenno, and Cacasenno never said
any  of the nonsense Giovanni posted!!!


The only SERIOUS comment that needs to be made is that the
algorithm for dive computers are ARTIFICIAL constructs in the
solution of differential equations in diffusion -- but there's
absolute NO known relation between the "compartments" in the
theoretical model and the different body tissues.

The above is WELL-KNOWN by all reputable scientists in
decompression theory AND computer algorithm authors.

Giovanni, you're STILL the same DF of Carl Heinzl, and you're
STILL full of caca!

But Strike remembered you and our "dual" at the Long Bar at
Raffles -- because Strike, Bjorn, and I were in the Long Bar
at Raffles, with Strike gulping down beer, Bjorn sipping gin
and tonic, while Sue and I sucked our Singapore Sling!  :-)

-- Bob.
