Craig,

You might consider that you aren't getting what you want out of this group because
you came into it with an attitude and ego.  Anytime someone raises an issue with
your design you get defensive and reply with a "Hey, don't you guys know who
you're talking to" response.  Well, no, we don't.  If you're some fantastically
intelligent genius that we ought to all be bowing to, back up your claims with
some hard evidence of where you've been and what you've done.  I don't know about
the others, but I'm not too impressed with an unconditionalized statement such as,
"I work for a group that designs advanced vehicle systems."   Does your group
design vehicles for toy companies or the space program?  What degrees do you
hold?  What universities did you attend?  What vehicles have you designed that
were actually produced?  What research papers have you had published?  What
patents have you applied for?

Except for your last message that had *some* detail, you've offered nothing but
very general concepts of a sub design that is not mainstream.  The first time
someone raised a safety issue you got defensive instead of providing a clear,
reasoned explanation of why you find the risk acceptable.  And then when you find
out the group doesn't blindly accept your non-traditional design you attack the
forum by suggesting we're all a bunch of lightweights and all the *smart* guys are
participating in this forum read-only but contacting you privately.  You might
want to check the credentials of those people because my experience reading this
forum is that the folks who can prove they have designed and constructed
successful submersible vehicles are conservative and safety concious in their
approach, and quite suspect of
radical new designs.

You'll never learn anything when you already know it all.
