Hi
Peter,
No, Regan is not like that, and he
does not always write nice things about other psubbers. In the old
discussion group that he hosted himself (prior to the yahoo days) he made
disparaging remarks about PSUBS and the people that contribute here. I know, because I read them in his online
discussion group before he closed it down. My feelings that he is
egotistical and pretentious is based upon what I read in his earlier discussion
group.
Regarding the yahoo group, he has every
right to run it as he chooses. However, remember that you can't become a
participant unless he lets you in and you can't enter/answer a topic unless he
wants you to see it. Every member request and topic submittal is filtered
by him first. That means, what you see in his discussion group is what HE
wants you to see. That's his perogative, but it doesn't promote open
discussion and might prevent you from seeing topics that he disagrees with
and/or takes him to task for his own
ideas.
There are numerous people throughout the
world that have accomplished more with submersibles than Pat Regan, and most of
them have more expertise than Regan. Until Regan provides verifiable
documentation regarding the number of dives and maximum depth that he has
achieved in the Nautilus, it's nothing more than a museum
piece.
Regan owes a general apology to this group
for comments he has made on his own discussion group. Until he does that,
I will continue to challenge his credentials when his name is brought up in this
forum as an expert or even as an "experienced
subber".

Dear Psubbers,
I wish to take no part
in this stuf about who is bad and who is good and only talks not build and so
on... If you genually feel that someone does somthing bad and wish for all to
know that - then please remember the "why"
Jon - why do you think Pat Regan is "egotistical,
pretentious, and a bull-shitter" - ? I had the impression that he was a nice
psubber from hawaii - who loves cupper helmets and writes nice things about
other psubbers ? Is he not like that ?
I all - remember we share a wonderfull hobby and
interest and both do´ers and talker´s may have someting to
give...
Most really importent people are infact talker´s
- J F Kennedy - Chirchill - Adolf Hitler - Werner von Braun - mostly
talked...along with Josef Stalin and Albert Einstein...
I will no DO som mere propeller mount stuff with
two good freinds - that are definetly DOérs...
Best and kind regards,
Peter

I've
not found Brent's interactions on PSUBS to match those described herein.
Brent appears to me to be a person with alot of drive and energy that
sometimes makes goofy comments, but I find them humorous not annoying.
He has offered to provide 3-D imaging numerous times to this group, and based
upon the images I have seen him post publicly it would seem he's got talent in
that arena. In my experience, Brent's description of Regan is spot-on
except that I would add adjectives such to describe
Regan.
Jon
PS...be aware that the Vulcaneers in the group
forward posts about Regan back to him.
