Subject: Re: Gue requirement to dive Madison Blue


 Greetings Trey:
    Thank you for your  response.  However, you did not answer any of my
 questions.  Therefore, I assume you are not a spokesperson for GUE.  The
 statement "Do what ever I want" is not a response.  The obvious is not the
question.  What
 Mount does or does not do is not responsive.  I did not ask any questions
concerning
 "Mouth" sic for Mount.  Actually, your response is very difficult to
 understand.  "Take it or leave it" is not responsive.   However, I think
obtaining an answer requires a response from someone who knows.
           You say you have put GUE together.  Why can't you answer my
questions?
 They are very basic.
     What professionals?  Name names.  I will contact them.
     There have been and are other explorations with good track records.  I
 have seen the results, which have be verified by independent sources and/or
 publication.
     It is a relevant question to a "not for profit" to know its association
 with a "for profit" business it is endorsing.
     If "adn dontl satet wthi oir tgpetty carp" does not concern a "pretty
 carp", then clarification would be  helpful.
     How long have you been diving?  Technical and cave divers have been
 making their own equipment,  which has many times been much better than
what
 is  commercially available for nearly 20 years.  I have seen several
 examples--very impressive.
     Since you invited me, I do have questions about your project?  I see
 no reason why the person who constructed this response should be laughing
 at anything or anyone else.  But let's see if you can answer some logical
questions about
 WKPP.
     1.  How is WKPP structured?  Is it a not for profit, an association, or
 just a group of divers?
     2.  How are the members of WKPP defined?
     3.  Which members hold patents concerning dive equiipment based on the
diving
 done by WKPP?
     4.  Where can I find the published research of the findings of WKPP?
     5.  Besides Wakulla, what explorations has WKPP done?
     6. Why do the set up divers never get to be lead divers despite their
 obvious skills?
     7.  Who specifically defines the policies of WKPP?
     8. Are there any members who are trained biologists or geologists that
 are lead divers besides JJ?
     9.  How much new scientific information has WKPP discovered and where
is
 it published?
     I have just read Dustin's post.  I didn't know.  But, I will send these
questions anyway, because they are logical.  If you truly answer the
questions or at least address the issue, I will continue the dialog.
Otherwise, I will have all the information I need.  Best wishes.
     Sincerely,
     Mary Jane Humphrey
