Hi Christian,

>BTW Michael, your current contretemps with Bob is interesting in that
nowadays I seem to be able to pretty well predict how he will reply to
a response (when he's in a war such as this one) even before it happens.<

Da Feeesh likes to bite da weasel's tail. Da weasel doesn't mind playing.
And vice versa.

And it usually stays fairly civil. We also dive together once in a while. 
Guess that helps.

Looks like I'll be back in Sydney next Spring. Hope we can do some dives
together then. And have a few drinks at the SD.
