Todd,

I appreciate your comments.

It would have been great to hear from JJ.

Unlike that other dickhead.

As far as we are all concerned, and I know Richard is doing something that
no-one else will, is that a show is being put together for the divers in Aust.

Shit happens, this ain't about TDI or who ever, and frankly we couldn't give a
stuff.

Sure maybe things could have been done differently, but I guess when you've
got a million things to do and organize at the last minute sometimes things
get rushed.

Richard is a nice guy and friendly at that.  We go to these shows to see
people like JJ and others, but it ain't the end of the world if it doesn't
work out.  We are not interested in politics and bullshit.  Just stories.

Who cares if people disagree on things, isn't that a democracy about,. having
the right to make your own choice.

We (divers) would like these shows to continue, so more of you guys can come
here.  Come to Australia to have fun, to see a beautiful country, one the size
of the U.S but with only @ 20 million people in it.  A contrast to your home.,
tell us your stories, your experiences and we share ours.

Isn't that what this is all about.????????

Leave all the bullshit and mudslinging to the telephones.

That's all us divers here want.

Regards

Dave.
