   This is so apparantly true ( at least at now it is true) and probably
necessary for the continuence of his project, however, I do think he really
wants to go the distance and make some maps.   It looks like he just doesn't
know about teamwork, which is necessary for such an endever.  Where is the
team in the USDCT?  The team is missing; because his priority has changed!
His original goal of making a mapper so-as-to realize the true cave structure
and plotting it on paper ( valuable information indeed) has been forcefully
changed because the need for money to do such a project.

   Unless Stone will never be back, your concerns are still valid.  I'm sure
everyone is still praying that no one is killed or very seriously injured by
his ignorance.  Death remains a posibility.  Do you think Stone will claim the
responibility of such an event?  Accually, it will be the fault of the diver,
for diving with Stone in the first place.

   I know my abilities and limits; will never make it very far into a cave.
Stone's abilitys stop with knowledge of himself: as a teacher, team leader,
inventor, project cordinator, and marketer.  
   Nobody can master everything, that's why teamwork is necessary.  His
ignorance might kill somebody yet.


     Safe diving to all,
          Randy
