Subject: making uninformed claims
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 14:11:06 -0500
One of the problems in today's society is when someone claims that someone
has better food, or better products than everyone else.  The effects of such
uninformed claims can have a lasting impression on someone who may have
otherwise, had an open mind.  The root of the problem I'm referring to lies
in the words EVERYONE, and EVERYTHING.  Take for instance, fried chicken, or
pizza.  One may say that "the Island Food Market down the street has the
best fried chicken in the whole world".  Unless that person has sampled
EVERY single type of fried chicken in the entire world, the claim is moot.
Get the point??  Good.

I'll close with a direct statement to Mr. Farr, and anyone who believes his
(Stone's) claim "KMA, buddy!!"  

Hey, I'm proud to say I provide surface (and sometimes in-water) support for
the WKPP.  I am also directly offended by his remarks he made about the Wak2
surface support crew (see below).

<<Martyn Farr, author of The Darkness Beckons, provides his impression of
the Wakulla 2 Expedition:

Wakulla 2: Must rate the most ambitious project in the history of cave
diving. From the sustained depths of the system to the state of the art
equipment being adopted, everything about this expedition is awesome. The
surface support is unparalleled and it's been a great privilege to drop in
and gain an appreciation of the immense technical difficulties being
overcome. The warm and friendly team atmosphere is a pleasure to behold ...
a solid team of competent explorers, developing, improvising and working
together in complete harmony. This is a landmark project being conducted in
the true spirit of exploration. >>
