TDI Advanced Nitrox and Deco Procedures

[Vtach]

Thanks Gert and Jon for the replies. I am not trying to start a war and I appreciate the frank responses. I have a better understanding of what you both mean when talking about "strokes" and I like the way that you explained your reasons. I completely agree with the term "stroke" when it pertains to unsafe divers, or the typical "MSD syndrome" (Macho $hithead Diver-I have dove in places you wouldn't pee in since I was certified last month in Antarctica-syndrome). That is where I have no problem using the "stroke" label. I have seen enough divers slap themselves on the back because of where/what/when they have dove and I am pretty sick of the elitist attitude without involving DIR. I guess that no matter where you dive, you will eventually run into people who interpret things in the extreme sense regardless of what the topic is. I think that I will definitely sit on the softer side of DIR and glad that I generally will not be chastized for it. Thanks for the opinions and feed back!
