Here's da Quiz.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each of the quotes below was posted somewhere in the public domain of
the wide-world of scuba discussion groups, since April 7, 2004 -- about
Lee Bell, Esq, CELEBRITY in rec.scuba, self-proclaimed expert on diving
physics, physiology, and related scientific matters.

For each item of this Trivia Quiz, you are to:

      Name the Discussant and the date (exact time if you
      know) on which the cited quotes (first) appeared.

That's it.  Eight answers.  The FIRST person to get all correct answers
before Wednesday 14 Apr 2004 12:00:00 -0400  (because I'll be leaving
for Singapore/Bali less than 15 hours after that and there's a 3-9
hour delay in my google newsreader) will received the prize of
(two-tanks of boat dive in a dive shop in Cozumel of the winner's choice)

For each item, I am the sole judge of what is "correct" (or closest to
"correct" to be considered "correct").  Only ONE entry is allowed for
each contestent.  E-mail your entry to Large_Nassau_Grouper@Yahoo.com,
OR post it in rec.scuba (but keep in mind that each posted entry will
lessen your chances of being the winning entry since anyone can use your
posted entry, make small corrections and submit it as an entry).

I hope that covered the necessary Rules to this Trivia Quiz.

Note.  The Discussants in the Quiz are disqualified from entering
this Quiz.  I am NOT any of the Discussants below, though I am sure
I have said something almost verbatim to what Discussant C said,
many times, before Discussant C said it.  :-)  I might add that I
am quite sure Discussant C came to that conclusion independent of
everything I've ever said about Lee Bell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Discussant A.

From the beginning of this discussion, what <name deleted>  has said
makes perfect sense to me (and I aced my college Physics class even
while spending most of the semester falling head-over-heals over a coed
down the road, but that's another story ;-) How's that for credentials?).  
I don't understand why Lee has decided to make it so confusing.

Lee>  Let me make it simple for you.

I wouldn't expect it any other way from you!  And it's so appreciated.  
I wouldn't want to have to rely on all those years of undergrad and
graduate school or my experience as a scientist.

Discussant B.

Lee, I have no doubt that you are a good investigator. You have to be
to have attained the position that you have with Uncle Sugar. Having
said that, I'd stick to that, cuz you ain't worth a damn at dive
physics or dive physiology.

Discussant C.

If you read all of what this idiot wrote, you can see how totally
full of sh.t he really is. He does make an extreme effort to make
idiocy sound reasonable, but via his normal method: bullshit, lies,
fabrications, and twisted "facts".

Discussant D.

Lee once again went for a Nobel Prize in physics by attempting to
prove a range of immutable laws wrong :-)

Discussant E.

Rather than bastardizing the gas laws, and continuing your
intellectual strip-tease show, may I suggest that you adhere
instead to Denis Healey's First Law of Holes: "When you find
yourself in one, stop digging!"

Discussant F.

And that is exactly why those of us who actually know what we
are talking about will pounce every single time he rolls out
the bullshit cannon, because the stuff he puts out there is
often outright dangerous.

Discussant G.  

I really wish you would take a seat and shut the f.ck up. I am
so sick of your huge efforts to make totally ridiculous things
appear to be "clever". Like everything else you say, this is
pure crap.

Discussant H

Lee,
You compensate for 6 or so lbs in buoyancy change by shifting your
breathing pattern???? That would require constant, close to 3 liters
exhale at the end of your dive ;-)) What is the tidal volume of your
lungs - 15 liters?:-)))

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen ... Start your search engines.   :-)

Bob, you are incapable of assessing "truth" since your recent posts
about me have destroyed what little credibility you may have once
enjoyed.

Lee Bell is a far better man than you. Actually, it is not far to Lee
to even compare the two of you.

Go dive and stay out of rec.scuba until you resolve your personal
issues.

IDIOT Jihad Ron Lee -- this is a Quiz, about who said what to Lee Bell
about diving physics, diving physiology, and other related scientific
matters in which Lee has been dispensing "dangerously wrong" posts.

You are growing in your idiocy by leaps and bounds daily, and your
mental illness is not showing any sign of improvement at all.

Why don't you try to win two-tanks by submitting your entry while
you learn SOMETHING about diving physics and physiology yourself,
and stopping polluting all the scuba ngs in which you post?

What's wrong lately, Bob?  You seem to have gone further over the edge since
our discussion of male vs female written characters in Chinese... Did losing
that discussion finally push you over the edge?  Was finding out that you
are not infallible too much for you to handle?  Oh well, welcome to the real
world... <grin>

Nothing new.  Same as what's wrong with rec.scuba since Ron Lee and
other Aldora IDIOTS came onto the scene, back in 1985 or so -- too
much noise by IDIOTS like Ron Lee, CPR86, chilly, Bob Crownfield,
... and the list is LONG (posts with zero scuba content always,
but long on frivol).  The came Kill-file-blind-flammers Lee Bell
who not being content to brag about having me in his "blocked
senders list", pops out to make his cheap shots blindly behind
OTHER idiots.   Then there are the rest of noise makers, like
yourself.

THAT's what's wrong with rec.scuba.   Nothing wrong with me, lately
or ever.  If you can't stand the heat, get our of the kitchen.

I can stand the heat of a multitude of idiots and noise makers.  In
time, the wiser idiots quit.  The dumb and new ones replace them.
That's the REALITY in almost all newsgroups.   Live with it.

> You seem to have gone further over the edge since

Don't flatter yourself.   I have been in this newsgroup when you were
probably still in diapers.  :-)   Your knowledge of Chinese is about
as deep as your knowledge about scuba -- about zilch?   :-)

> Oh well, welcome to the real world... <grin>

Read BACK about 10 years before you first entered rec.scuba, and perhaps
you'll learn something about the real world of rec.scuba and ngs.

Perhaps you're just getting a little too bent out of shape over it?  Grab a
beer, kick back and relax...

Perhaps, but they were neoprene diapers, so I guess I started early...
<grin>

> Your knowledge of Chinese is about

Hmmm... Let's see... I got involved in diving around 1977 because of a girl
that I knew that dove and my knowledge of Chinese is because of my S.O., so
there does seem to be some relationship there... <evil-grin>  I never
claimed to be an expert in diving physiology or anything... On the other
hand, I think that I could claim that I am proof that Darwin is sometimes is
asleep on the job... <grin>

BTW, I never said that I'm an expert in Chinese... I just said that you were
mistaken in your original assertion that Chinese did not have a different
male vs female character in the written language and they were pronounced
the same... Even after proving to you that you were wrong by showing you the
characters, you wouldn't admit your mistake... You don't loose face by
admitting that you were wrong on that one aspect, since the addition to the
language was probably after you had already left China, so I don't
understand why you seem to find it such a big deal to admit that you were
mistaken in this matter...

Oh well... Life sucks, but the alternative is not all that great either...

Clearly because that'd involve admitting a mistake.
(though he did admit that FDR did not explore the Amazon), and included a
diatribe about how knowing which Roosevelt was unimportant).

Also, would you spend time around a place if it'd been downhill since 1985
or so? 19 years. :-)

Bob Ling, you complain of zero substance in posts and yet you are
numero uno in childish name-calling, jihad-like bashing of dive shops
and an obvious inability to get over issues (you hold a grudge).

Of course we always get to look in wonder at your awesome diving
abilities....self-proclaimed of course.

you have to understand that to disagree with the self acclaimed expert
Fish,
simply starts another jihad where you too are now an IDIOT.
they are ENDLESS and UNREASONING, but crammed full of tiny details,
FILLED with STRANGELY capitalized words for EMPHASIS.

He gets so OBSESSED that he never understands
what you said and what you meant,
but only that you questioned his authority and post.

most of his posts here in the last several years
have been his endless IDIOT RANTS and DIATRIBES.

You would have thought that they would have been able to get his dosage
right within that period of time... Perhaps he just keeps escaping the
padded room and they find him in some internet coffee shop posting his
dribble again?  Perhaps his 'dive trips' are really just him being forceably
returned to his padded room?  Hmmm... Now it all makes sense... <grin>

To quote a famous rec.scuban:

"you were stupid to have taken everything entirely too seriously"

and

"Hope you feel better and have better scuba related stuff to discuss
when you return."

;-)
