JeffG,
Fishnet stockings??? Now that's just HOT baby . . . !!!!
 
I think the problem comes when opinion is presented as fact.
For example, I can say...
The Travel (small elasticized donut) wing is the best wing.
The Rec (bungee) wing is the best wing.
The Classic (non-bungee) wing is the best wing.
To me all three statements are true, depending on the circumstances. But they are really just my opinion, based on my experience, my preferences and my ability.
Some would dictate how others dive, or at least attempt to elevate their own diving style by denigrating all others.
I'm a fan of freedom. Try what you can, dive what you like.
Rick :)

I thought so. Now I have to figure out how to hook up my scooter to the Garders.

oh god!!! not this @#@!$!@#$%!$~@!#$!@# thing again!

Why don't you ALL GUE/DIR people go and talk to your own cult and leave us non-GUE/DIR people alone.....if I want you to preach to me, I will seek you out if I want to and then you call sell me on all of your *great* methods and theories.....but do not knock at my door trying to convince me of your ways, because I will just slam it like I do on another pestering group of followers

We need a "once someone brings up DIR in an argument, the argument is over and the person who brought it up loses" rule.

The fact that someone repeatedly asking the simple question "what problem do bungee wings solve?" over and over again makes you go ballistic about DIR is a little bit indicative.

Lamont's Law.

You heard it here first.

There is a rule similar to that. I can't remember what it was called, but you would lose if you mentioned that certain German political party.
