John,
	No faking.  I'm real.  NACD cert #2683.  I know nothing about that
group first hand, but I am assuming (maybe wrongly) that I don't belong.  I
really am a little girl: 5'4", approx. 110lbs, 24 yrs old, and can barely
lift the OMS 85s that I dive with, so I'm really not good at carrying tanks
(which is what I heard someone talk about in reference to helping out at a
WKPP dive).  I love sushi if you ever want to take me out...
http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~crc96432  has a cute picture of me back from
college last year.

Hahaha! Okay, I will buy sushi for whoever is faking these emails.
You had me completely fooled.
