The software author is hardly responsible for this. This is a direct result of a "vast ani-VPM-wing conspiracy"
peppered with an ample dose of unsubstantiated fear tactics. You should ask the student, where in this thread is the question raised about how many divers were bent on Buhlmann? I think that's only fair. Surely, anyone can clearly see through this charade for what it's worth - mere speculation. Hardly a solid platform to base an opinion on a such important topic as this outside of the classroom. Don't you agree?
The point I was trying to make was directed at the author and his need to continually keep posting to aid his product and that it may not be doing anyone any favors, I have yet to read a post were kevin G, the Dive rite boys, or any other computer software guru has responded so many times on the internet to promote and defend thier product to issues surrounding the program if he didnt post their would be little or no amunition for the Vast anti-VPM wing as you so put it to jump all over his comments.
As for the students/class it just provokes unnecessary debates when theirs already a lot to get your head around. And i do agree that the need to highlight the risks of several platforms used for dive planning is essential in teaching a well rounded diver but the questions raised were directly referencing this thread and V-planner.
