Gosh, wonder what brands they sent in? I'd suspect something that DD

Well, let's see:
this poster's IP address is 208.242.126.82
Which is: Baltimore County Public Library
(208.242.126.0 - 208.242.127.255)
A little more digging shows that this individual uses the X-No-Archive
to conceal some of his comments (we know what that means), but his
name is Grant Harris, he has an email address and webpage at
gharris@bcpl.net and http://www.bcpl.net/~gharris/ (yeah, Baltimore
County Public Library).
Grant claims to have other passtimes of being a horseman & sailer; not
cheap hobbies.
And since Mr. Harris is willing to go from MD to West Palm Beach
Florida to go sailing, one would expect that he's willing to do a
short 5-10 mile drive around the Baltimore / Harford County, MD. area
to a diveshop. Scuba Hut is on the southside of the beltway, so
because of traffic we'll give him a pass on that option, as well as
Aquatic Connection in Dundalk for the same reason. But there's then
at least Acu-Dive downtown, Diver's Den in Parkville, Knight Diver in
Edgewood, the Scuba Center in Havre De Grace that are all close, plus
there's Aqua Adventures in Cockeysville, or if one wants to go away
from the city, there's Guppy Gulch up in Delta, and Delta just happens
to be where my one brother-in-law used to live in when he worked at
the Docks downtown, so I know that its not 'impossibly far'.

How does one do that via mail-order? :-)
