I read the article published on the Tallahassee Democrat web site and felt
compelled to send the author a short, very polite, note pointing out that
the Wakulla 2 Expedition, while doing some very interesting things, was
only following the guidelines already placed by the WKPP and the Wak 2
divers were not really going where no man has gone before.

Don't think it would be productive to deluge the T Demo with calls and
letters, but perhaps some confirmation and follow up with more details from
Mike or George would lead to some credit where credit is due.
