Calm down Dave, no one is going to make you buy one, or ride on one.
Nothing wrong with expressing your opinions or predictions, but there is no need
to be rude. If Herve is wrong about Proteus then we'll know it by the end
of the year and you can laugh it up and get all pompus then. But "no
balls"? He moves to a new country, developes a new design, and risk his
name and reputation to build it and you think he has "no balls". If
that is the case then I would love to see what you are building. Care to
show us?
Sincerely
Doug minor level goof machine Jackson

WOW,,,what a cool idea. Some one has finally figured out how to
give a hole bunch of people the bends all at one time. Geee...they can
even take Grandma and the kids along. This wonderful exomos site has once
again demonstrated that marketing is all it takes to sell any thing. I'm
going to start selling wings that strap onto motor homes with Velcro,
quick and easy installation,,,takes just 15 minuets and you'll be on your way
to glideing through the Grand Cannon. But before I do that I'll need
some marketing capital.....so if any one is interested...I have swamp
land down here in Florida that will be worth.....Is this a negative
attitude...hell yes it is....this is truly one of the stupidest things I've
ever seen and it scares me that there are people that actually look at
this exomos thing as a SUBMARINE....
IT"S NOT A SUBMARINE....it's an ambient goof machine on
a grand level...this guy needs to get the balls and build a pressure vessel,,,
hell,, he's in Dubai any way and could never be implicated in a law
suit ........Dave Banks
