Not long enough, and not hard enough.

You still posted, and you're still posting.

What you're not doing is listening, or learning. I tell you this because I'm
one of the nicest guys on this list, and I figure almost everyone deserves a
single clue.

Since you showed up without one, I've given you one.

In case you missed it, or in case I was too subtle, the clue was
"You don't know anything yet, you have nothing to offer, so shut the fuck
up, pay attention, listen, and learn."

Now you're on your own. No one's going to "debate" with you, for two
reasons. Number one, no one cares if you "get it" or not, and number two,
the people here who know how to dive don't talk to strokes or listen to
strokes. It's rule #2.

Argue with them, and your time here will be both brief and uncomfortable.
They won't "debate" you, or justify their teachings to you. They'll answer
questions, but if you challenge them, they'll ridicule you into oblivion.
Then, after you've left, they'll add another notch to their flame-thrower,
and go diving. This isn't the AOL discussion group, this is the caver's
list, and no one cares about your feeling, or your opinions. There are far
more important issues at stake.

Good luck!
