hazel,

let's take a look at the scorecard for a minute.

informative posts by hazel burton  --  ZERO
informative posts by divers like george  --  "NUMERIS"

you come waltzing onto this forum out of nowhere spouting ridiculous records 
down in weenieland and expect us to roll out a red carpet like you are a 
peabody duck.  by your self-admission, you are a new cave diver.  the divers 
that are still around on these lists are hard core, serious divers that have 
been around for the long haul and will continue to be around for many years 
to come.  we are certainly not worried about dives in 30 feet of 76F water.  
those dives are only limited by two things - battery burn time and distance 
hiked into the jungle.  neither makes a technical dive.  we have watched all 
the wannabe blowhards come and go with no meaningful impact or contribution 
to this list.  you then have the audacity to suggest that you will form a 
"better" list where everyone can share information in a kindler and gentler 
way.  since you seem to be running that show, please enlighten us as to what 
you plan to share besides more nonsense.  why don't you tell me about 
decompression gradients, counter diffusion, or micro bubbles.  you can go 
sit around and hold hands on that list.  other "private" lists have started 
as a means to get away from the constant banter and negative meddling we get 
from john q. public like yourself.  if you want to learn something, do just 
that.  if you don't like the medium used to carry the information, please do 
us all a favor and unsubscribe.
