	I'm no expert on the subject, but I've really been
	checking up on it.  Isn't it better to
	come down on your main, that is if everything is
	okay with it, than to come down on your reserve.  I
	was instructed to deflate the reserve by pulling on
	the lines furthest from me and bunching it up between
	my legs.  It made sense to me, and that's the way
	I'm going to do it because that's the way my jumpmaster
	expects it, but is what you say better?
