This sucks to high heaven. Mudslinging is not a respectable way for a
person to advance his or her cause. Editing Abraham Lincoln's speeches
would allow an ill-meaning person to make him look bad.

It's sad to think that just when some people are plotting to make the Wakulla
safety record drop, the loss of these people is bound to make the sport as a
whole less safe.

That's nice to hear. Still, this is a sad day for us, cavers and non-cavers 
alike.
