Haha...I wouldn't worry about it.
As far as "snorkel" threads have gone, this one has actually been pretty good and has been informative. This one has not deteriorated into put-downs of folks who use snorkels...as other threads have.
Let's face it, in this thread the usual suspects showed up and gave their reasoning on why they do what they do to give the OP some information to think about. None of the snorkel jihadists showed up, so the OP is just dealing with divers that don't care what he does as long as it works for him.
Personally, I like this kind of thread because there is a chance I could, and have, picked up something new to try that might change how I dive. I tried a long hose and backup on a necklace and found the snorkel interfered with that configuration, and because I use a snorkel a lot, I went to a 40" hose with a 90 degree adaptor.
This thread will, and is, dying a natural death by people going on to the topic of how interesting, civil, and informative it was rather than being frustrated and pi**ed off and saying screw it I'm out of here.
Or may be its the season
Cheers to all
