Subject: Re: cave lines
    Why should someone be hung out to dry because they removed a geriatric 
sized unneeded arrow?  What purpose did that oversize piece of plastic 
serve?  If normal arrows work in every other cave in the world, what makes 
Little River so damn special has to merit a different arrow?  Little River 
is just a cave like every other cave in this state, it is not sacred nor 
special.  That large arrow was nothing more than cave trash.  What is next, 
giant arrows at every split in every cave for every diver that can't either 
read a map or posses the cognitive ability to navigate?
    Depending on where the line in question was I might agree with you.  If 
they cut back the main line away from the entrance, back to where it used 
to be, then that is great.  That line was only moved because the 
instructors in the community do not want to take the time, and need to pass 
students that can't, to teach people how to run a reel.  The same thing 
happened in Peacock, laziness and complacency on the half of the instructor 
should not equal less work for the student, it does but it should not.  If 
the line was removed from somewhere in the cave that might be a different 
story.
