Ken,
...
  The only comment I wanted to add concerning the "lurking" issue -- I
think that it depends totally on the skill levels of the group as a
whole and the "seriousness" of the dive.  If it is a fun jump with a
mixed bag of experience, then leaving extra room between slots is a
good idea (this is the type of jump I usually am on).  However, if the
group as a whole is on the talented side, and/or the group is
interested in turning lotsa points, then I think it is reasonable to
attempt to keep things tight -- and you take the chance of accidently
stealing someone's air.  Luckily, I don't have the skill level to get
on such serious loads -- we all get out there and flop around like we
don't know what we're doing and giggle about it when we get down.
