Trey,

I did get major feces about doing a piece on the WKPP. Bill Renneker
reportedly threw a fit because he thought his Brazil cave diving piece got
bumped in favor of the WKPP piece--it didn't, his article was submitted
after the issue was already set up.

Lamar was supportive, I talked to him about it and he had no problem that I
could discern with running articles about the WKPP. The Usual Suspects is
the correct phrase, BTW, to describe those that have a terminal case of the
ass for the WKPP and anyone who says anything nice about it.

Now, my guess is that the Mac computer BS that Lee was running probably came
from Bill. I believe that partially because someone suggested that it did
and because a while back I saw Bill and some other "insiders" and mentioned
to them that I had found some papers that Shannon had transferred to me when
I was Editor and wondered to whom I should send them, Beth or the Board.
Somehow it came back to me that Bill went to a meeting and told someone
there that I had some "equipment" that belonged to the Board. Rumors.

This was a second-hand report too, so maybe he actually said that I had some
equipment that the BOD wished they had and wasn't I a nice guy and all . . .
ya right. 

Later,

JoeL

PS--See why I'm so glad to be no longer involved personally in cave
politics? Here I am in an online list discussion of it and I'm remembering
it all and I already feel dirty again.
