Now PADI gets involved in agency bashing

[Walter]

No kidding. I fail to see why everyone tries to villify PADI constantly. Sure, they try to nickel and dime you as much as possible with all the different certifications, but you know what, they're a business and businesses are out there to make money.

Totally unrelated to the topic at hand and not true. Businesses are expected to make money. No one faults PADI for making a profit.

Would love to, however 50mph winds again scheduled all week so my 100% failure rate for sea diving in 2008 continues.
Need something to do instead.

I wish I could summarize, condense, and conclude arguments with my wife in such a manner.

Who is lamer, the people engaging in the topic or the person who spends their time whining about the people engaging in the topic? Why don't you stop whining and follow your own advice?

Maybe you would prefer a board like this:

Now that we have inflicted our own off topic opinions on the thread, what will the net gain be for our efforts? Yeah, I'd have to agree.... pretty lame.

Dear god! It may not be tropical diving but hearing that... I'm loving the fact that I live in California right now!!

Nah, Im pretty sure you are more lame. You must be proud to be an internet legend and one of the voices of hardcore diving on scubaboard. Congrats.
