the comments below are based on an open mind, a diving friend who believes in Stone and has given me many articles to read, and the cavers and techdivers list. In a message dated 1/6/99 9:12:31 AM Eastern Standard Time, jjcave@ib*.ne* writes: << It is about proving the use of the breather so that he can get his money out of it. >> 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. << I had hoped I would be wrong and said next to nothing about all this but it seems like all my concerns are coming to fruition and I think that is a shame. >> 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
