I have no problem whatsoever with WKPP postings.

My ad hoc definition of 'technical diving' would have to be along the 
lines of using the best information available and the most suitable 
techniques to extend the range of diving. This is basically cutting
edge diving on all fronts. It often involves the development of new 
equipment, techniques and attitudes. 

I know that what brought me to this list was to find out more about the 
problems of deep diving and the kit and attitides of the people that were
doing it. I don't mind whether the people who have good information to 
share are diving in caves, wrecks, fresh- or sea-water. The limits of
safe diving ( statistically safe ) are physiological and the body doesn't
care about pointless bigotry regarding where people dive.

TechDiver has a useful archive which if searched shows thats TechD is quite
an informative platform. At least I found some good information.

I hate forming snap opinions of people but Ms.Hardman ( Not so good to
find ) is sadly deluded about 'tech' diving. 

She should appreciate that technical cave divers are making a useful
contribution to the 'technical' diving community and are of wider interest
than being pigeon-holed as a subset of cave divers. Look at what WKPP
is doing.  

I don't expect to see any useful contributions from Jim King. I don't 
expect his shiny bonsai balls are going to be a problem but I think his 
head will impede his progress in all but the largest caverns. 

In short ( hah ), STOP complaining and whining and if you don't like what's
on the list CONTRIBUTE something more relevant.

Safe Diving,
Cheers,
Andy.
