Subject: Re: 1999 CDS Workshop
I see Zumrick is giving the "Wakulla Too " update. Maybe John can
address a few items just for me:

 1) Theft of intellectual property, and how much smarter he and Stone
are than I am in not only being incapable of copying a scooter, but in
not making any of their scooters work after telling me mine was no good.
Why did Stone make 35 pages of drawings of a stolen scooter ( and a
discontinued model at that)? Maybe even a word on what kind of low life
scumbag liar does something like this while claiming himself an
"engineer".

 
 2) How in three months of daily diving they were unable to equal what
is a setup dive for the WKPP ( open circuit ) in their best effort after
telling all of us they would "triple our distance". 

 3) How their wonderful project contributed so much to cave diving by
nearly getting it shut dwon, by falsifying dive data, by following our
map, by learning nothing about decompression, by convoluting methods so
badly that they can not be used anyplace at all, and by finding a way to
make a rebreather an impediment to diving and less effective than open
circuit.

 4) A demonstration of the benefits of a diving free-for-all where 74
year old men dive wihtout buddies and lie dead in the water while nobody
notices, why it is a good idea to let Wes Skiles and his crew of known
strokes conduct Fellini-like  demonstration of severe personal
preference resulting in a Life Flite landing at Wakulla, how a severe
CNS hit requires bandges to the knee , how one dies of "natural causes"
using a Cis Lunar, and how lying can be conducted publicly ,
continuously, and without flinching for three months.

 5) How to "helium cool" a scooter.

 6) How to collect the worst idiots known in diving in one location ,
including novice divers, non-certifed divers, and divers who do not even
own drysuits, and pretend this is anything but the biggest Charlie
Foxtrot ever to occur in the recorded history of diving. 

 7) What happened to the Phen Phen, or did Nell's make these guys an
offer they could not refuse? What feedlot did they have Heinerth on , or
was he getting ready to start a new career as a Sumo wrestler?

 9) What , besides proving that the WKPP is the best in the business,
was accomplished by this massive waste of time, money, and life?

 10) What kind of idiot spends over one million dollars and does not get
to dive? Doug Hand's mother still has been further in Wakulla that this
character.
