Bill, you have to stop the lying. You are not getting away wtih it, we
are going to correct evey attempt you make to exagerate and lie,
misstate the facts, take credit for what we have done, or otherwise
obfuscate the truth.

  Let's start with the fact that you and your people are telling Park
vistors that your "divers" have gone three miles in the cave. The truth
is they have not been a half of a mile, and have done ZERO exploration.

  Moving on the the recent dive ( we will skip the last few clusters
billed as dives and the fact that you have not put the mapper in the
cave ) we see that you are claiming that it took these guys about 100
minutes to cover 2800 feet each way - that is less than 50 feet per
minute, slower than swimming, and they did not stop anyplace according
to the graph. You are lying. If it took them half that time they are
horrible divers - which is it , lying or horible, or both? If they did
that bottom time, and then that deco, they are dead. Again, a lie, and I
know  - I do it all the time.

  The "scooter room" was all put in by Sheck Exley, not the WKPP. We did
not add to Exley's line at all. He and I dove back there and looked at
it just before he died, and then we left it alone because he had just
died. I left his compass on the floor where he dropped it, and I do not
want to hear about your strokes taking it out, or I will come get it
back from them the hard way - capice?  We later looked at D, but did not
add - there is nothing there but short holes - he got it all. It is his
tunnel, not yours. We did survey it, and then reelled it back. Knock
yourself out - this should keep those strokes busy for ten more dives at
least, and they can brag that they added to Sheck's line, and be big
heroes, like you promised them they would be instead of the laughing
stocks they presently are.

  The walls of A where these baboons were diving are 30 feet apart. The
big stuff is out of their reach. They have not seen "big" yet, nor will
they .

  Let me ask you one question: are there any Americans left on your
team?

  Oh, yeah, Bruic says "hi".
