If that were true of whichever faceless Username you are referencing, there are certainly better ways to suggest better ideas as well as why the harmless bag is indeed a bad one. Some people would just rather harass, lie if needed, etc. for whatever reason I could only guess. Maybe they were bottle fed as babies; who knows...?
Now if & when I
do suggest a poor idea, which was not the SMB, mirror, or air power whistle I don't guess - even tho one of the gang finally ridiculed those without reason, I welcome constructive corrections. None of that gang bothered and it seems you're not either. Oh !@#$ well...
Okay, honey, you are making no sense whatsoever.
I will glad to expand. I didn't mention your mirror,smb, or whistle, because they are all very good safety devices. You said that you carry a white trash bag to shine a light in if you are out at night and drifted off. This is silly for several reasons.
1. trash bags are very loose and of weak material. They are just as likely to tear as you take them out of a pocket.
2. In the water, they will be hard to handle because they are such thin plastic.
3. You can shine your dive light up a smb and get a tall tube glow that extends up above waves, where a trash bag will be only right on the surface.
4. In waves of any size at all, the trash bag is easily hidden.
If you want, get a yellow smb that you can shine the light in. Problem solved.
Now, when talking to me, be respectful, quit making dismissive assumptions and listen to responses. I am happy to discuss anything, but I get my back up when someone pouts and calls me names. If you want me to expand and explain, simply ask. I am happy to.
Now, about Chip(Onespeed). I have had the pleasure to meet him. He was kind enough to actually open his home to a person from across the world, who he had only known from this online forum. Last year for ITK, he met me, put me up at his home, was a gracious host, and even lent me his steel tanks for ITK!!! Who does that? He is witty and sarcastic. He is very intelligent. You may hate him all you want, but I know he is a fine man. I am proud to be his friend. If you want to lump me in as a gang, or any of the petty names you call him, I guess that is OK with me.
