Pufferfish
I just had to pull this one on you. I wondered how long it would take you to bite on this one. You have just demonstrated better then I or anyone else could ever put into words what is wrong with everything you post to the board. A small description of which follows:
You are far too predictable and I will leave it at that.
All the best

James Pate, aka CC, you should really label your posts with a coke alert. Let me get this straight. You post a reply to Groundhog regarding your thoughts on argon and your personal experience with argon in cold deco water. Actually that was interesting. But all the while the post was really a set up to entrap Pufferfish to show how predictable I am. And there was even a pot to boot betting on the times I might chime in. Come on you can do better than that piece of Scubaboard fiction . I am flattered though that you would actually use your valuable time thinking up such schemes and that I feature so prominently in your day to day thoughts. Didn't you say a few days back that you had a new teething baby you had to attend to?
You may have changed your name James, but Colonel Cluster's posts still look and read the same. If there is only one guy on "top" then his voice 'signature' is pretty easy to identify.
Now on to something more productive. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the relationship between position in the water column (vertical vs. horizontal) and warmth perception with argon use. Some have said that when horizontal in the water column most of the gas in the drysuit is over the neck, back, and legs creating a much larger volume of gas to insulate these areas. Argon with its lower heat transfer capacity than air in such a large volume over the diver's backside while horizontal may make a significant difference with respect to heat loss in cold water.
