I bought my first wing 23 years ago. It was from Dive Rite. About 7 years ago, the weld separated. I found this out when it started bubbling, and I unzipped the bag to see the weld had given. I took it to Dive Rite and in less than 10 minutes, they had swapped out the bag. I’m still using that wing today.

Go with a good company with a great attitude focusing on going the extra mile without making excuses or insulting you. Dive Rite has always been, and likely will always be top notch. I’ve never seen them treat anyone the way some of you guys talk about some of these manufacturers.

—Edit
By the way, that replacement, was at no charge. I forgot to say that part. I don’t know if that’s the way it always goes, but they’ve always taken excellent care of me.

You probably don't care and only interested in planning how to attack the next person who disagrees with you.

Miffed at the lack of a torus wing zipper

She Mauled the thing using a dull seam ripper

Then sewed the holes snugger

Than her stretch pants could hug her

If it fails, can she say the seller tried to gyp her?
Don't give up your marine scientist gig just yet.

Fake news. You can’t change your old posts to remediate basic errors. Then have fanboys come to your defense.

It was originally animism, but just as likely autocorrect changed it from animus, just like it changed my sign off from “Franny” to “Granny”, when I tried sexting. I re-read messages more carefully now.

As it was pointed out to you, our friendly fun loving Tobin changed his words after it was pointed out to him that the original word he used at first wasn't what he probably meant. I did a "copy & paste" from his original post into my eDictionary.

I think that we need to move past this matter.

New keyboard on order.
 
Let’s not discount the fact that 90% or more of the folks on this board would have to google either term. Neither are terms used by the vast majority of English speaking people, and I’d bet if Trey Gowdy hadn’t used animus in what is becoming a viral video this month, it would have never popped up in here.
