Subject: Hose on Wrong Post - How Stupid Can "Cave" Instructors Get?
I see nobody is willing to get on here and discuss the "merits" of
putting the long hose of the wrong post in the wake of the double
fatality at Madison, yet the NACD was willing to publish an article in
its "Journal" singing the praises of this ridiculously stupid and
unsupportable practice. They also published an article by Rennaker about
solo diving and other nonsense that was almost as stupid, and by way of
comparison, even Rennaker is not stupid enough to put the long hose on
the wrong post, if that tells you anything about the "instructors" who
do.

    Where are the geniuses who recommend this? Maybe they can get up the
nerve to come out here and argue this with me. If they think it is OK to
tell this to a student, then these clowns need to be willing to argue it
with me publicly. What is the matter, tough guys? Am I a little harder
to bullshit than a new student, or do none of you have the balls to come
out here and let me prove my case?

    I hear that Gerrard, Orlowski, and Heinerth are some of the big
proponents of this. Maybe Jill Heinerth, if she can take a break from
writing articles where she claims she went 10,000 feet in Wakulla (
instead of half that) and claims of "gender" world's records when WKPP
women do these dives routinely, can get on here and explain why this
makes any sense.

    How about Orlowski? I believe he is "training director" of the NACD.
Can he not come out here and explain this?
