yes, but i already knew that. ...i guess that in
all your wisdom you assumed that i wasn't already
aware of that...(???).
also, you addressed your post at me, at least
i believe you did as you seem to keep calling
me, and no one else, 'kelpy'.
so, by reading your reply post under my post,
i inferred that you were addressing your post
exclusively at me and bringing up an issue
that was actually irrelevant to my post.
this then implies that you misunderstood the
actual meaning of my post since my post had
nothing to do w/technique (ie, which regulator
goes on a long hose and which one does not) and
had everything to do w/the QUALITY of the long
hose. apparently, one company has been putting
out warnings that long hoses that are meant to
be used for one's primary reg are supposedly
of inferior quality as they are not 'meant to be'
used for primary regs but instead are 'meant to
be' used for octopus regs. if this specific
point is not true or needs to be further clarified,
i appreciate input on that point.
i only relayed this info that i gleaned elsewhere
so that those who are interested in using the
long hose for their primary reg can investigate
on the the quality of the long hose and make
sure that what they are getting is safe.
i guess i just didn't understand why you were
bringing up something (that i believe) was directly
unrelated to my post unless you thought i was
stupid (but then again, i already know that you
do).
again, the post i made had to do w/making sure
that divers out there who are interested in getting
a long hose for their primary reg don't get
something 'inferior' (ie, a hose that is 'supposed
to be used' w/octopus regs instead) or one that
doesn't really do the job it's supposed to do.
that's all. i think there was just some misunder-
standing as to what my original post was dealing
with. you can follow the rest of the thread to
get a clearer understanding at the link i already
provided in my post.
thanx!! for your input.
