Gerd,
You don't know me, and you surely have not posted here before this, but you think you are in a position to tell me I am taking something too personally?
I am glad you have had good experiences with liveaboards, but doesn't have any bearing on the experience that Pipefish had. I do find it odd that you and other "new members" are here with all of these years of diving experience and the only thread you can comment on is this one. If you want credibility, you need to partake in more of our other discussions. At this point for all I know you are all employees of AICD, or even the same person.
