Given the overly aggressive/possessive attitude, I don't know that we would ever be buddies in the first place. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you don't sound like much fun to dive with. The guy with the bloody stump comment is even WORSE. I might not get on his boat to begin with. Life is too stinking short to waste it dealing with such naked aggression marked by anti social comments.
No aggression involved from my POV.
Actually one of the reasons I posted was to show, once again, there is an exception to every situation. I have a Datamask, you cannot sneak a peak at my pressure without removing my mask or programing your computer to monitor my pressure.
You sure as hell are going to have a battle removing my mask at depth. If you don't have a computer that is capable of programing to watch my pressure, the only alternative is to ask me because I have no intention of removing my mask just so you can see my pressure for yourself. I will gladly supply my buddy with an honest response to their question at anytime, you would need to trust my response as I am not going to remove my mask to prove it to you.
The point of my post was to say that the one way for you to see my pressure for yourself is to remove my mask. If removing my mask to see my pressure is your intention, you are right, I would get aggressive and attempt to prevent you from doing so. If you have the ability to program your VT3 to monitor my pressure, just ask. If we were going to be buddies I would not have a problem with it and would help by supplying the sender unit number necessary and be quite interested in seeing the process involved while doing it. In fact I would like the fact if you wanted to monitor my gas as my buddy, another set of eyes and another brain would be quite agreeable to me.
If your intention is to secretly acquire that information to monitor my gas, that is wrong. I can't see where asking me is a problem, again as a buddy I would allow you to program your VT3 for that purpose. I didn't say there would be blood or aggression, unless you were to attempt to remove my mask at depth, then we would have a problem. Just ask, very simple actually. If I found out that you acquired the information secretly we would not be buddies. No aggression or possessive behavior is involved. You be honest with me, I'll be honest with you.
If you can't understand my demand to know if you want to monitor my gas by programing your computer to do so, then you are correct, we probably would not ever be buddies. Secretly acquiring information would be a breach of my trust. Simply ask me or go spy on somebody else.
