Steve I think your comprehension is poor. Neither Kendall or I said that oxygen was narcotic. All we said was that their is a possibility.
As for a 100 year old theory we use several of them. Tell all of us what theory in narcotic potential you subscribe to. As far as I know this 100 year old theory is still the most popular one divers in this modern age follow.
We were simply throwing out some food for thought. No test have concluded whether or not oxygen is narcotic, nut as far as I know all gases possess a potential at some pressure.
As for our hot gases, you know absolutly knothing about how I dive or my choices in mixture so please quit making accusations.
So please quit being a fool and trying to challange me anytime we post. As far as the RBCR post I again gave everyone some interesting information to think about. There are many lose ends in hyperbaric physiology and some of these little tid bits hold some value in my opinion. Try telling us some diving facts since you don't like to read theory.
