Sorry for jumping in, trying to get a hold of Iain/hsm .. can not send PM to him directly as of yet, I am newly here.
Any suggestions ?

Sure: in the spirit of what @rob.mwpropane was alluding to, you could say something about the use of a nitrox stick with a reciprocating compressor…. (ETA: *oil-lubricated* reciprocating compressor. Of course a Rix is a reciprocating compressor too…. If you’re going to poke fun at somebody about being pedantic, you better also be correct when you do it. :) ) Or just find a previous thread and repeat some slightly incorrect shortcut for maintaining a Rix…. Those type of posts seem to get him to reply instantaneously and voluminously…

They say the best way to get the attention of an expert is not to ask a question but to say something incorrect. It’s not unique to compressors — or scuba diving. :)

this isn’t really meant to poke fun at @iain/hsm — or, it is, but very gently. I know people can feel the same way about me in my field of expertise. Maybe the difference is that I actually like the sound of my own voice and therefore have no problem spouting endlessly with far more minutia than any human should ever care about…

:rofl3:
This is so true... he'll jump in to correct someone over just answering a question 8 days a week!
