drowning experiences folks here had had?

I'd like to see that! People who drown but don't die...

What do you mean by 'die'? ;-)

I mean so dead that even the Michael Daly Hand Of God manoevre won't save
you!

Well, yes of course I misstated and you get a point.

I meant "near-drowning experience" or "near-death experience".
"Near-death drowning experience" could bwe argued as an oxymoron. In
most circles, the definition of drowning explicitly includes death, but
there is that grey area of 'what is death' and is it irreversible.

Then, there's the semantic question of if someone is 'in the process of
drowning' and does not clinically die, were they ever 'drowning'?

Not to worry, I'm done :-D

Me too, but with any luck, that's irrelevant. Its been sort of quiet
around here...

Since when have I been associated with that technique?

Why do you keep claiming that you don't make derogatory comments about people
and then post crap like this?

Do you keep changing your email address so that you can avoid all the killfiles?

Not sure, I'll give a google and see.

What are you babbling about? I'm having a laugh here. It just popped in my
head I've seen you bragging about doing the Hand Of God a few times, so it
was a funny reference given the topic.

killfiles?

Mike

I'm not aware of any changes to my email address, but killfiles are for the
feeble-minded. Can't you just refrain from opening messages from me if you
don't want to see them? And are you really so fragile that you can't handle
it?

've mentioned it a few times. Hardly bragging. And that still doesn't
mean that there's any real association of the technique with me.

Too bad you can't post under your real name.

Zapping your messages in advance improves this newsgroup's signal
to noise ratio.
