Thank you for proving what I said "There is nothing so bad as a zealot with a cause. They defy reason and the truth to pursue their agenda." Calling everything a red herring, avoiding the questions and issues posed and redirecting to your own propaganda is easier than addressing the issues.
Diving is not a commodity item. Regulators are not the same as gasoline, eggs, or rice, or orange juice or meat. Brands don't matter in those things. They do with regulators which rules out dive gear as commodity items.

I followed the discussion of removed serial numbers in the rec.scuba.equipment newsgroup. They are available at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.scuba.equipment if anyone wants to look them up

Of course.To remove a serial number from a reg you'd have to GRIND IT OFF.

You are lying. The source was formerly contracted to make BCs for ScubaPro and was required to turn in all tooling when the contract was terminated. They made counterfeit ScubaPro BCs with inflator mechanisms something other than what was found on genuine ScubaPro BCs.The difference was clear? Really? Apparently the gear in question was sourced from a real-live ScubaPro manufacturer. Now who lied to who?
It is an agency whose affiliated instructors work only in dive shops as they do not allow independent instructors. Dive gear is sold in dive shops. See the connection? SSI's decision was reported last year. The fact that they are a certification agency and not a gear company is irrelevant. I did not say they manufacture gear. Their instructors do sell it at the shops they work at.SSI? SSI as an agency is not a gear company.
Much of it coming from you. I can see you have no interest in learning and curing your ignorance. Any further time attempting to communicate with you would be wasted.So instead we have lies, deception, and other forms of chicanery and falsehood,..
