Anton,

I am strongly under the impression of how difficult good communication 
is when it occurs only via email. You do not see the other person to 
evaluate facial expressions or body language. So, somehow, one has to 
interact and still understand the real concerns of the other party. At 
least once a week I am seriously misunderstood by others with whom I 
correspond because I assume the other party has the same basic 
perspective as myself, which is not necessarily true. Frequently also, I 
misunderstand mail from others because I do not understand their broader 
perspective. This correspondence is no exception. So I  totally 
misunderstood you and for that I apologise. At no point did I willfully 
misinterpret you. Part of that comes from a misinterpretation of what 
you meant by using the word 'tool'. May we start on a fresh basis and 
address the real issues about CCR dive logs?

There are some factors that come into play: what the average CCR diver 
would expect, as opposed to what more enlightened divers would think 
makes sense.

Would you be prepared at all to please start again and explain in 
greater detail exactly what you have in mind and let us discuss that. ok?

I would, however, request that we use the existing patch for visualising 
o2 sensor values as a starting point simply because I am under pressure 
from local CCR divers to provide basic visualisation of po2 values and 
to make the software available to them. But, I am prepared to change the 
present code to do anythingt that contributes to the ease of use and 
interpretation of the information. For that reason your point of view is 
highly pertinent. Please explain in a bit more detail, will you?
Kind regards,
willem
