David, it's a bad trade... With JJ, you would have had the opportunity to
hear about some truly remarkable diving, and learn about the impeccable
technique enabling that diving which can be applied to the benefit of all.
 By blocking him, well, now we all have the opportunity to hear and learn
about the "industry" yet again.  Yawn.  Even if one were to overlook the
apparent dishonesty involved in this little episode, what conclusions
should be drawn about those who knowingly opt for such a facade?

What will be learned from BG's "stories"?  Real diving is _so_ much more
interesting than bombastic tales of foolish near misses.

Hint: bring lots of beer to the conference -- it's always best to conceal
the true source of one's stupor.
