IRAP - It wasn't me!

[Sludge]

Those of you that have been on the forum for several years know that we are on our third software.

With the first one, we began the IRAP section. Members submitted their reports, a moderator reviewed it, and then it was posted. All were anonymous.

After we went to the Phpbb software, we changed it a bit. We created a new administrative login called "IRAP Administrator," and members would PM their report to "him," and "he" would post the report and then lock the thread. This is because these reports aren't up for discussion (finger-pointing) but simply for personal reflection.

It fell to a moderator to transfer all of the original IRAPs to the new forum, so I volunteered. I would log in as "IRAP Administrator" and copy/paste each report to a new thread. For some reason, when we changed to the current V-Bulletin software, all of the IRAP reports show me as the author. So I look like I've had 68 near-misses.

I appreciate all the PMs I have received, telling me they're glad I survived my latest "incident." But rest assured, we hope to have the authorship situation fixed soon.

Glad to hear you survived...

You must have nine lives my friend!

I never thought it was you, you don't have a Gavin. I figured you were the one on the Mako

LOL

Well then let me add that although I just got myself a used short body Gavin last weekend (knowledge to some), I have been scootering before and last weekend was my first time out on my used scooter at Ginnie, I wasn't Diver C (and not B or A for that matter).

Glad the divers posted the story.

Come on, who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?? We have all suspected that you have lots of "incidents".

Me, I have something screw up every dive, I'm just smart enough not to tell about it. I mean, why warn everyone. Let them find out on their own. You know like when you switch the little lever from "pre-dive" to "dive" on your regulator and it breaks off in your hand leaving a big hole in the top of your 2nd stage, let everyone figure out for themselves why they are breathing water or which finger to plug the hole with.

Or like when you've had a banana and granola bar pre dive, and have to blow chunks of it at deco. Do you leave the reg in or out. Would you rather breathe a bit of fresh water, or banana/granola flavored acidic hurl.

Or trying to use a piece of cave line as a mask strap after yours has broken. Do you cut it off the spool, or just leave the spool dangling like a big earring?

"It Wasn't Me", a likely story indeed.....

ROFL, just the mental picture made my day

Safe diving

Sludge is a wealth of info.
He knows 68 things NOT to do if you want to have a safe dive.
That trial and error method is gonna get you!!!
