Joel, Lamar is playing both sides of the fence - he is as guilty as the
next dumb red neck for not doing anything to stop the destruction of the
CDS by the "Rennakers" and the bullshit that Rennaker and the other farm
animals pull constantly. They are his customers at Dive Rite or whatever
he calls that place these days.

Now that I know it pisses off that fat slob Rennaker, I migh start
submitting a story on every dive I do . Then they can make up exucses
why the longest cave dive with the most creative logistics , equipment
and decompression magic ever done are not reported in their "cave
diving" magazine.

I bet they would put some extreme heat on Beth Sommers not to publish if
I sumitted.
