JJ & all others,

I don't know how JJ's last post was directed at me with a "with all due
respect". My posts were calling bullshit on the OzTek for cancelling JJ and
the knowledge he would've brought to the show. Given the choice to listen to
BG's TDI schpiel about how deep air is the way to go and it is ok to drink
and dive, or JJ's GUE knowledge and information I will take JJ any day of
the week and twice on Sunday.

OzTek cancelling anyone that way is bullshit especially when the appearance
was at their request. When you take into account the motive as well, it
makes it that much worse. 

Don

JJ, I am assuming here that you did not know this
was a TDI event, or you would not have wasted your
time - you had to know that  the Slob would never
sit for it, and of course this TDI guy is Oz is
already a known liar, deadbeat, and deep air diving
stroke of the worst order. In fact he was on the
boat deep air diving when Rob  Palmer killed himself
deep air diving, and then lied about that to
everyone. Look at his post to me if you want a
definition of "clueless". The jerk thinks it is
perfectly ok to break a business deal and walk away
in a cloud of bullshit, and he has an entourage of
spineless morons over there who are going along with
this adding to the excuse list.

Back in the sixties I went to see Jeff Beck at
Filmore East, and Johnny Winter opened the set for
him with a song called " Be Careful With A Fool" -
good advice to this day.

With TDI, it is C.O.D., or not all all, in my
opinion. Next time , make the strokes pay uop front.
That is what I had them do in England and the Slob
could not stop it . Even bomb threats called in
could not stop it, and I opened the session by
reading from Rob Palmer's book where he talked about
how stupid it is to dive deep air. Not one of these
big mouthed pussies would deal with me face to face
on this - not one.

Nothing "fell apart" as you
