Dude, I think it may be time for you to put the medication down!!!
phew bit frenzied this one!
I would say that maybe judgement would be the term of the day
if you are about to die do whatever you can to survive, however if you are just trying to stay in one place for a minute whilst your buddy is distracted, or to get that perfect photo, use your buoyancy, not the nearest piece of reef.
As someone else said, I don't think the original piece of advice was relating to a life threatening situation, more general guidelines for normal dive practice so maybe "disturbing" might be a little extreme a term to use it certainly got my attention tho, so if that was the aim it worked

Solo divers also don't need to talk about the colour of their gear, because it takes two to have a fashion show. and if you know what I think about some of the fine divers I've met on SB,you could answer your own question about " solo diving by choice"mempilot:Solo divers get to dive more than all of us combined. They don't have to mesh schedules with a dive buddy. No form of checks and balances on the stories though, as you pointed out.
603 views, I think the message is getting out , even though the thread was hijacked
novadiver:
Gear color, where did that come from? 603 views, and only about 5 relevent posts to tell you your a troll. Hijacked. Doesn't a thread have to have a solid foundation in a relevent topic to be considered a candidate for a hijacking? More of a Seinfeld thread this one is. Much to do about nothing.
Why do you think that is the case?novadiver:
I watched a Nova program once narrated by Carl Sagan, and he said there were billions and billions of stars.
ok I know I should probably know this, and in hindsight it is going to be really obvious
what is a TROLL? I can guess what you mean, but what does it stand for???
ask Jeeves, Google or even Yahoo.
That said, the term is misapplied all the time. There are those who go phishing without resorting to trolling. There is lunking and casting and trapping and netting and... well there are a lot of ways to do it... even noodling!
