    Dude, seriously? I haven't called you a troll anywhere in this thread. I've asked you some legitimate questions having to do with the planning process and contingencies. If you don't want to discuss such aspects of a dive with anyone then fine, don't post them in a public discussion forum.

    I've tried to frame my questions to you in a respectful manner. I haven't slammed you in any of my inquiries, I simply tried to get to the reasoning behind your choices. Since you feel the need to change my words and mock me for doing so, I'll leave you to your little ego fest and quit asking you legitimate questions.

    Congratulations on your dive.

This is actually a serious question because I find it hard to believe that I am the only one shaking my head at your attitude in this thread.
    I have stricken the part that you commented on. Any comments on the rest?

    Dude, seriously? I answered all but one of your questions, and I explained why I didn't find that one relevant. Your repeated assertions that I owe you something more than that are tiresome

    Now if only you had spent all that time answering the legitimate questions, this thread might prove to be more than it is. Sad really.

    Is this a "deep air" thread?

    If only you'd spent your time asking them instead of posting crap like this:

    If you look, I have never asked you technical questions. I have never implied that I was qualified to do a dive like this.....I am one of the people whose time you are wasting. People (including me) come here periodically to read and understand and learn. None of that is available in this thread because you have pissed around and refused to answer many of the questions (yet offered nothing but crap back to the readers) posed because one can only imagine you have no clue what the answer is.
