Subject: Bogus? Post my Ass!!
Gerge,

How many responses did it take you to get all that out?  Let's see . . . one,
two, three . . . man!! I can almost see you back there behind your keyboard 
clacking away, the veins on your neck standing out, the sweat pouring off 
your mug as you think of some new polysyllabic word to write down in response 
to that STROKE, Joel. Yes, George, you've got me pegged, GUILTY as CHARGED! 
I'm a STROKE and proud of it!! If the opposite of you is a STROKE, then sign 
me up!!

Where did you get all this hostility? And this pecker contest you are 
CONSTANTLY engaged in and now showing us all how computer literate you 
are--I'M so-o-o-o impressed!! I have to say that I am also SO flattered by 
all this attention you are lavishing on me! I'm thinking of making this a 
hobby, you know, pick up a few extra bucks drawing fire from you while the 
rest of the list discusses more serious things like--horrors!--cave diving 
(instead of George's EGO and George's WAY.) Hey, remember the WAY, that 
60/70ish religious cult? They were a LOT like you, you do it MY way or the 
Hiway; well, in their case it was Hell, but you get the idea. 

"Are you in the Way", 
"yes" 
"Well get OUTA the way!"  <G>

I do enjoy _your_ attempts at lugheaded humor, though, all that stuff about 
Peacock--wHAt a KNEE-slapper! How long did THAT gem take? You really missed 
your calling, I'm thinking MTV rock-jock at the very least. You're 
sorta funny, immature, petulant, abusive, abrasive, not too bright and full 
of yourself: Pauly Shore!! There ya go, the George and Pauly Show! I think 
it's a concept, make it a reality, you can if you think you can, am I right 
or am I right, I'm right, right??

But let's get serious for a minute: 

You are one heck of a scooter rider and you can dive deep and lift heavy 
stuff and I hear that you know scuba scooters better'n just about anyone! Now
my Dad was an Rockwell Stealth technology engineer and I only build 
custom houses, but, hey, don't sell yourself short big guy. I rebuilt my 
scooter (they're a lot simpler than houses) and I know there's all kindsa 
confusing wires'n stuff, so keep up the good work! And where did I hear about 
this--WHY FROM YOU, WHERE ELSE??

Well . . . you know, this is ALL a lot of fun George and if you really want 
to keep this up, well, I'll be glad to oblige, because, uh, you're such an 
_easy_ target. Big Ego'd Macho Men usually are! And you are at a 
disadvantage, you don't know me, you know nothing about me, whether I'm 
REALLY a good or bad diver, you don't know! Which makes your ignorant 
statements about me all the more stupid, really (for want of a better word). 
Your lack of respect for others publicly (I have noticed and heard that 
behind everyone else's back you're often not a bad person: one-to-one) serves 
no one, it only amuses the peanut gallery who would be amused by a good fart 
joke just as easily. So pass the gas and get on with it.

So, I don't get it. What's the point? You're not promoting safe or 
adventurous diving by this behavior. You're not making the list more 
interesting really except to the above-named aromatic section. People serious 
about cave diving and techdiving I will bet would MUCH rather see serious 
discourse with the _occassional_ jab and argument where appropriate; 
sometimes this list _has_ been a tad stuffy, but I'm here now . . . <g>
There 
really are some folks on here AND CIS that know what they are talking 
about--not everyone, yes just like on CIS, there are folks that haven't a 
clue, but there are also those who WANT to be able to speak out, get it wrong 
and have their miscues corrected, but HERE, you get EVISCERATED! And why? You 
already HAVE a hobby, right?

Anyway, I made a friendly offer to you about diving with me or with you and 
it still stands. And as for the Rule Number One, you might want to have a 
look in your mirror and make sure you're not violating it next time you go 
diving.

Strokes of the World, Unite!
