Perhaps you are being too subtle, @happy-diver . Perhaps I missed the point of your four selected excerpts.
I read your post as saying that, as Trace suggested often happens, I have made @Reku "a target of criticism" just because he's going outside his local dive shop.
So, full disclosure: I have a "small compressor" too! But oops! I also work part time for a local dive shop. And oops! I also buy stuff from Pirhana and LeisurePro. And oops! My dive shop boss doesn't mind.
My point was, when posting in the Basic Forum, we have an obligation as SB members to consider our audience before cryptically advocating a practice that might be unsafe in novice hands. That's all. Let's be good advisors here.
