Nick,  The question I asked was what diving related problems our attitudes 
have caused.  I have absolutely no interest or concern over your 
"speculation" about anything related to diving.  You are completely 
unqualified to comment on anything the WKPP does, otherwise you would 
not be posting the misinformation which you dispense on a regular basis. 
If as result of some terrible psychosis you do think you are qualified to 
comment on what WKPP, George Irvine or Tom Mount do I have a proposal for 
you - LET'S GO DIVING.  We will dive Tallahassee Power Cave since this is 
what WKPP does and you keep commenting on WKPP.  I think Cheryl sink would 
be a perfect site, since a body recovery here would not threaten any of our 
permits.  My guess is you will call the dive prior to even dropping 
the air bottle.  Barry Miller will come with us and video this event 
since we have been looking for some footage for the new video - "DOING IT 
ALL WRONG".  After the dive we can then discuss what problems my attitude 
caused.

Nick,  I know for a fact you will discover a great deal about 
what we *know* about diving and how truly inferior you and your personal 
preference techniques are after we spend about five minutes in Cheryl 
sink and Barry is videoing you riding around with your thumb up in 
complete terror.

Nick,  I would appreciate it if as long as we are are talking about 
diving together that you not ever mention anything about "bite you in the 
ass someday", all this personal preference stuff you and Wakerbarth and 
the rest of your pod of strokes keep referring to makes me a little uneasy 
about suiting up with you around.

Nick,  If you have what it takes to accept my offer you will find out that 
the only thing that matters is how well it is executed technically.
