Well that's mostly because you don't post anything worth replying to.
You're an idiot Stevie. A full blown pustule on the face of the earth.
You are so stupid that you don't even register on Scott's Scale Of
Stupid. You are so stupid I would tell you to your face that you are
stupid. You are a nothing that has never done anything. You failed a
bullshit trimix class that is set up to pass the stupidest of people,
and yet you failed.  Nobody understands anything you post, and most of
what you post is made up bullshit anyways. The big dives you think you
do are just weenie dives anywhere else on this planet or the one you
inhabit. And worst of all you say you were a meathead and yet you are
proud of that and think it amounts to something. You had better move to
that place where you can snorkel and write your name with your dick in
the sand. Because 2 inches is as deep as you've ever been and will ever
go.

Steve Spencer. Ex-MfuckingP. Can't do the medium dives, can't do the big
dives so he makes up sh.t to make himself look good. Going to tell the
world how it is. Typical Tim Horton's diver. Nuff said.

Thanks for the hero worship thread in my name.

Easy on the abuse of Tim's name they make good coffee.
I have cut way back, go weeks with out one.
Don't like cops eh...
When I look at Mossman's site and ask around your just in the shadows.
So I'm trying to kind here.
If you have done all these dives with Mosssman on the East and West coasts.
That speaks to your experience, but the young lad in the picture of you guys
down east makes me wonder which dives you did.
But no matter, I didn't claim to be an expert on the river.
But you did and rated "no big" deal (not an exact quote).
Lets take that at face value.
So why are the trimix divers screw up on "no big" deal dives.
I would be careful on this part because the who's who train here.
It's one thing to piss off an old man with a doughnut hanging out of his
mouth.
But piss off a what do you guys call it oh yes a "Founder" or "Inner Circle
Member"
Look chappy, these instructors are suppose to be the best tech agencies have
to offer.
If it keeps up.
A trimix card will be as coveted as a PADI resort card around here.

Years ago I perused a Trimix card and got caught up in the politics.
I covered here with you and you remained silent, look it up.
The reason, I wanted to travel and dive some of the deeper wrecks.
I found out no one take you unless they have trained you.
Have things changed ?
I did after being a trimix blender for a few years (one of two in Toronto
full time at the time)
Ask again.
The instructor in question quipped back.
What am I going to teach you?
I thought a f.ck of a lot.
This was from a ex sat diver / rapid deployment diver / firefighter.
I never explain I wanted it for travel.
I got busy he got busy, I never got around to it.

Just after getting rid of my mixing station (wasn't cost effective).
I have loss access to trimix because I refuse to put a shop in a position of
giving me gas I'm not certified to use.
Even though I have been diving it on and off for the past 20 yrs.

Now you friends seem bent on display a unique quality of helium which most
say doesn't exist.
Aborting dives and getting away with it.

Which if true may lead down that road again of setting up my station.
Before you go there.
The only non tech to see my set up was J.
I have never given gas to non certified diver nor took payment.
I test it and they test it with their gear.

Then's the question who to dive with?
Locals will not dive with you on trimix, they barely put up with my O2
bottle.
What jion the new breed of arrogrant tech divers.
I have to live around here.
I guess I could go over to GUE.
But I can't give into the force I'm too set in my ways.
Besides have you seem how big the GUE instructor is.
Set of twin 104's look like a set of Dixie cups
f.ck he put's out his own bow wake.
I couldn't keep up if I had a out board shoved up my a.s.
But if I ask nicely being such a nice guy.
He might agree to drag me around by the leash.
Besides if he was to slap you, you stay slapped.
And I'm not about to give up my old ways.
I would end up just slapped silly.

Got to go, got to be ready for the next dive...
Now where's that jelly doughnut?

Why do you talk/type that way? In disjointed sentences, kinda like
pointform. Kinda like a new age poem that you expect to hear in some new-age
basement jazz club in New York. I think people find it a little hard to
follow you, and more importantly think you're kinda weird for it. Is it
intentional? Do you talk the same way?
I'm honestly not trying to offend, I just find your manner of speech
(typing) interesting unique.

It is point form of type.
I never took English in school past grade 8.
I got shoved in an accelerated program.
Math, Physics, Chemistry
Blah, Blah

Hit University others did my paper work, I was always in a lab or in the
field somewhere.

Blah, Blah

Was supposed to do my own technical reports and time sheets.
My boss, wanted me in the field.
At that time the technology was moving faster than the engineers could draw
the plans.
Those that could wing it did, those that couldn't revised the plans for us.

I did get to retire at 38 if that counts for anything.

As for speaking in public I get by fine and believe it or not have done a
lot of public speaking (never use notes).

What some don't get is not all divers us the internet or even own a pc.

I may limp along in this world, but I can assure you in other worlds I soar.

No offence taken or given.

Diving isn't a video game with x number of lives.
The dive accidents (150 ft +) we are kicking around where not made by divers
that make a living with their hands (plumber, electrician, paramedic etc).
Its the desk / keyboard jockey that seems to have the problem.

These none pc type divers are quite common and some of the best divers fall
into this category.
You'll never meet them on the net.
The ones I know consider the net a waste of time.
Can you blame them, the abuse they would take here because of their lack of
written English skills.
Then's all the porn, they have no desire to expose their families to that.
When my kids are old enough, my net connection will go too.
To exclude them is your loss.
You can theorize all you want, but it doesn't get the job done.
Results are all that is counted at the end of the day.

He's channelling Jack Kerouac.

...but some actually pretend they know what's going on. Because they believe
it makes them cool and intellectual. Like with Kerouac.

I can't believe it is anything other than him being a non-native english
speaker. I mean, noone would or could continually type such meaningless crap
otherwise.

crowd.

The fact that you run around here with your yap open and if you are GUE.
Proves your baby GUE.
My guess most of you are just a "what a be" not a card carrying GUE.

In the pass I have listed my qualifications what are yours?

What are the bulk of your dives?

Hummm I though so.

Side note: no one touched on the dive fatality this season.
One of my attackers had in his shop.
Interesting, drag in the dead before anyone notices.
Or was private e-mail sent around saying don't talk about it.
Let's attack Toto before he pulls back the curtain.
Maybe we can discredit him, so no one will lisen.

I'm not and that's be on the recorded for years.
Longer than GUE I think.
What year did GUE start teaching in Ontario?
You are new.
You have my file at your shop, mind you I did leave a few things off.

You still haven't bless us with the dive teaching fatality out of your shop.
Or the O2 fire at your mom's home.

You'll learn soon enough.

Some one pull up the DIR Bat sop's for this poor misguided bastard.

If you see :
Divers dressed all in black
Showing off their long hoses
Black jack boots
Shaved heads
Burning crosses
Goose stepping in time.
Bats held high

run... Run...RU... RUN...

Unless you like being held down and the bat applied with out Vaseline.

Then there's the one in a strapless dress and red f.ck me pumps.
Lusting after Jammer's a.s.

The Bat's for you and only as you requested,
The rest I see no problems with that.
Mom passed on a long time ago and lived in apartment.
She also didn't teach me any goosestepping, but burning crosses
is just plain hard to do. Shaved heads on the other hand sound good and
seem to match the doc martins, and as for the long hose you been peeking
or just wishing with anticipation.  Sure I'm flattered here and maybe a
little
curious but I'll stick with the opposite sex, but at the moment I'm
preoccupied
looking for your file.

Got to get my gear ready for the dive after work tomorrow.

I've been twice.  Once when I was two, with some pictures of me romping
around naked in the snow to prove it.  The second time was when I was
sixteen, along with my mom to visit the same friends of hers we visited when
I was two.  Their daughter was about the same age as me (the same age as
Anneke Street too, what do you know?) and I was hoping to get something out
of the trip.  Unfortunately my big date consisted of driving with her to the
mall parking lot where it turned out the big night out for the Topekan teens
was driving in circles around the parking lot unless someone announced there
was a keg party.  I kid you not.  And that night there was no keg party so I
couldn't even get her drunk.  And it turned out she was in long-distance
love with a boy she had met at summer camp.  So my second and last trip to
Kansas was an utter failure.  I'll never return.

Oh, for the full effect you have to drive through, and stop at a town or two
for gas and a hot-dog, bagel, tofu burger or whatever they wont
kick your a.s over asking for...(which pretty much negates tofu and other
hippyshit).

Plus, make sure you don't have any Grateful Dead or Led Zeppelin stickers on
your micro-bus...

The Staties have determined that such insignia is "indicia" and is PC for a
stop and talk, (because the State Court has agreed 70+ % of vehicles bearing
these insignia are found to contain marijuana) which always leads to denial
of a consent for search, which leads to the dog, which leads to them finding
that
roach you lost 6 months ago...which leads to a mandatory life term.

I know you know what a Tim Horton's is but other may not so I'll first
let everyone know that Tim Horton's is a huge doughnut and coffee chain
up here in the Great White North. A "Tim Horton's diver" is a diver who
does all their dives sitting in a Timmies and telling everyone how great
they are.

I of course knew what a Timmy's was - being in Toronto you can't throw a
stone without hitting one. But I was scared there for a bit - cuz we usually
start or end a dive at a Timmy's - I was worried I might be a Tim Hortons
diver there for a sec haha.

He was also a Canadian Hockey Player.
For those of the GUE persuasion.
You missed they are not doing these (200 ft range) dives in the river.

As for the w.nkers I pick up.
They where doing a long drift dive in less than 100ft.
GUE is just as responsible by making technical diving info available to the
general public.
That and making tech gear fashionable.

As for the gloating GUE types I would refer you to your GUE standards.
It lays it out pretty plainly and the possible consequences.
And how if a GUE pisses you off how to complain to HQ.
If you need a copy e-mail me.
I have a copy in pdf format.

That happens to be the favourite coffee shop of the divers around here
(Eastern Ontario)
Very popular coffee shop in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. (That I
know of, there are probably other provinces as well).

GUE don't drink coffee (health thing)

But some of the top trimix instructors from other agencies do and even rave
about the heated apple fritters.
So far I have only tried the apple fritter cold.

GUE are also not allow to speak in public that's why the post anonymously
and get very quiet when their identity is revealed.
That said I have met (dry / wet) higher GUE (I didn't ask for id).
They don't posture and come off really nice.
But then they should they know WTF their doing and don't need to posture.
It's the want a be GUE that is the pain in the a.s, baby want a be GUE being
the worst.

GUE is kind of like "the Borg", but hey they get the job done, it is rare
they f.ck up and if they do you won't here about it.
If they do, their out, what do you call a Borg that is no longer connected
to the hive?

That said I said a short while back the GUE wasn't f.cking up in the river.
Which is true, but what I did not say is they are not doing those dives.
They have their reasons, whether it be better sites, logistics, or there's
no GUE trained to that level or interested.
I don't know I didn't ask.
What I will say is.
I'm interested in two things.
Keeping the seaway open.
And what gases and profiles are they doing?
GUE has made their diving practices an open book.
So the only thing left as far as I am concerned is keeping the seaway open.

My in with GUE is very trustworthy and the first GUE to screw up in the
seaway.
Let's say I wouldn't want to be him.
The collective will take care of him.
If a incident did occur head office would want heads.
They know they are under a microscope and govern themselves accordingly.

Example:
Not that long ago I picked up a few wayward divers in the river and made it
public knowledge.
Just by rescue location.
GUE was diving in the approximate area give or take a nautical mile.
There was a GUE round up / tarring party I guess?
As it turned out those divers I picked up where posing as GUE to save
embarrassment.
In the end I found out who their instructor was and let him / her know.
They got told, I'm guessing on this one.

To close if I was GUE and f.cked up.
And an old fat guys pull you out of the river.
I would start packing, move and change my name.
That said I not a cruel person, if a GUE does f.ck up.
I'll give him a few days to get a head start.
Then I'll turn him in to my in.
And that will be where it stays.
My in will get back to me with the defrocking, tar and feathering or just
your plain old upside down crucifixion by the nuts.

Beware of the ones you make fun of.

If GUE isn't having the same training problems as other agencies then maybe
other agencies should raise the bar.

Not lower it to attract the lame, sick and mentally ill.

Well see about that...

sound of door being kicked down in the back ground.

Lee's muffed cries "no no that's fresh, no no not the apple fritter"

Phone rings, is phone held to Lee's ear by his attackers all dresses in
black.

Lee, "this is George, what have I told you.
Behind close doors only.
Don't make me send the boys back.
I know about the playboys under the mattress and steak in the fridge.
By the way, have you finished the revisions on the dive manual.
I running out of ideas"
Lee replies groghly "You own me a door, a double with a hot fritter. Till
then you'll wing it.
No book, you'll have to make sh.t up!"

End of little story :)

It's only because of your venerable position you can get away with it. :)

Around here we seem to be inundated with the hard core types.
They live the GUE life style as well not necessarily carrying the card.

You yanks got your bombers and all that.
We got GUE want a be's.

You have your flag, mom and apple pie.

We have Tim's on every block.
In Smiths Falls pop 9000.
We have two 24 hrs. non smoking. Tim's .
Every dive site on the river is within a short run to Tim's.
Life is good.

I'm diving with GUE boy on Sunday and I guarantee you.
I will not tell him about stopping at Tim's.
When I pull the truck in he give me grief and slump down in his seat so no
one see's him.
I'll offer him a coffee or doughnut.
Then he'll pull out some disgusting smelly thing out of his lunch box and
offer me some.

You couldn't find an inch of fat on this guy anywhere, he's always whining
about losing weight.

Me I'm the complete opposite.

I have nothing against GUE, I dive with some of them.

It's those that pretend to be GUE telling me how to dive bugs me.

Real GUE around here don't tell the local divers how to dive.

There's no doubt in my mind that no one can tell you how to dive.

Or drive, spell, speak, think, act or just generally be.

I see I got your goat with the warm and fussy comment.

So tell the truth, are you still allowed to drink coffee? or you sneak
around with it.

After all your comments about Dm's are only good for getting coffee.

I know your type...
You take your coffee with two cream and two sugar.
Then a big messy cream filled bow tie day old doughnut.

Off a maggot wagon on your account, no less.

So what does all the coffee and doughnuts come to in a week.

Then there's the day old bacon sandwiches... the horror

I got your number.

I think that's the funniest thing you've said yet.

It's also the only semi-coherent thing you've said...

This reminds me of my days in a bicycle snob club.  We used to go
riding every Sunday morning for about 6 or 7 hours.  Invariably we
would make a pit stop, usually near a convenience store.

The true atheletes would open their little seat packs and break out
the bananas and trail mix.

I would break out my wallet and buy a chocolate bar.

Gotta love it,
TDI guys making mistakes and telling everyone their GUE,  you should give
them directions to Timmy's then to a GUE instructor.
That's right it's cheaper to be a IANTDI diver hee hee.

Why don't you call NTD.
I have being bugging them to put posters up at the divesites.
Move down this way.
My guess he has strokes up to the ears.
He has been sneaking around here thou.
When your as big a Dan you can't sneak.
WTF do you think I say to them once I have then a shore or on board.
NTD should be sending me finders fees.
But I guess all the name calling a side.
Real strokes are a dime a dozen on the river.

I'll fogive you as long as you leave Tim's alone.
