Hi,

I have been reading some of the articles on this web site and it is
apparent to me that some people are spending much to much time putting
each other down and not nearly enough time communicating in a
constructive manor. I hope that I can influence this to be an open forum
where people can express their ideas without fear of being slammed or
otherwise put down. I would also hope that divers of differing
levels of ability and or training can also benefit (at my multibillion dollar
company that produces satellite communication systems for the entire world,
we strongly believe that no question is a stupid question and that putting
others
down is extremely inappropriate). Also, I would hope that divers would not be
put
at risk of possible death because of fear of embarrassment over a dive gone
bad (not that I have had such an incident) or be afraid to ask questions, learn,
or allow others to know about mistakes (so they can learn from their mistakes
 in a constructive manor). A community that puts down its own members only
diminishes itself in the eyes of everyone else and may result in a loss of some
of the advantages that the tech diving community currently enjoys.

John

p.s. I appreciate the constructive remarks I have receive concerning
my last email and am currently looking into DIR and I apologies to the
members of this group that don't fit the above description. I should also add
that it has been about 8 years since my Full Cave course and DIR may
not have been around at that time.
