Yes, you were careful to do that in the post you quote, and I do agree with everything you said in that particular post, for what it's worth. However, that was not the post I was responding to. In your later post in which you challenge the idea that the Galapagos is a cold-water dive destination based on its geographical location and averaged data of surface water temperatures, you were not so careful, and you also subtlely phrased your statements so as to imply that my own statements were poorly grounded. Similarly, you have done the same thing in this reply (e.g., "76° water" which I never mentioned, but which you could claim wasn't meant to be a quote; comparing extremes such as North Sea divers and those who frequent Caribbean areas when I only compared Galapagos and Komodo--both known as challenging destinations). So if you are apologizing for craftily trying to slant your replies to make rhetorical points, apology accepted!
