Subject: Re: Wak-Me-Dead
Mike, those buoys have floated all over the cave. Only one was at an
intersection, and that intersection was between A and an unnamed tunnel
a few hundred feet past the A/O junction. The rest were quite randomly
scattered and nowhere near the line. Some had floated to the ceiling,
others hung in mid water touching neither the ceiling nor the floor.

This business of concocting a map for months is riciculous. The hoopla
about GPS is ridiculous. The fact is they used cave radio, the oldest
trick in the books, to position the survey, and they did so by following
my hand-made survey, which is quite accurate.

Their tools and methods are useless anyplace but Wakulla, and they
grossly underutilized what they had at that location. To sit there for
three full months and only be able to duplicate a dive about equivalent
to what JJ and I did our first dive back in the cave this summer is
patently absurd. On the dive JJ and I did, however, we also set the
whole cave up , finished exploring A Tunnel, pulled the gear out of
there back into O Tunnel, and made dinner at Lucy's. That was inbetween
diving every other location in the WKP , setting every other cave up,
and working the entire area.

These guys coninue to pat themselves on the back, continue to try to
commercially exploit this project, continue the self-aggrandizement, and
continue to baffle with bullshit while forgetting that they nuked cave
diving for themselves and any other scientific group outside of the WKPP
which holds longer term legal agreements that even the Fiasco at Wakulla
can not interrupt. 

The WKPP will eventually put this whole system together and map the
entire WKP . This will supercede any mapping by Stone. It will also be
by a trained team of top players in all disciplines who are contstantly
being produced by the WKPP in an ongoing effort, and who themselves are
committed to the goal, as opposed to a bunch of dillatantes and wannabes
who lack any committment to anything.

All the W2 project did was copy out scooters, disrupt our project, and
kill Henry Kendall, and no matter how much talking Stone does about his
useless map, Kendall's death is all that anyone will ever remember, and
that lying "retraction " he put out, finally convincingly proving every
last little thing I was saying all along.
