I am very concerned with the recent chain of events regarding the WKPP vs. King
and his 
group here in Florida.   These guys (King and company) seem to be causing a
rukus with the 
powers that be.  It is important for all of us to understand that if we write
letters to the 
state officials supporting the WKPP, we may be looked at like crybabies also.
We do not want 
anything to backfire. They may feel that if these two groups and their
supporters can't get 
along, then neither has the best interests of the State in mind. They might
pull everyone's 
permit. Lets be careful in what we do.

It seems to me that the big issue with these guys is saying that they have a
better way - as 
we all know they do not. Thetr actions will arouse suspicion as to the safety
of what the 
WKPP is doing. We all know that scuba diving is far from safe except for fish.
We could 
all(cave divers) end up out in the cold thanks to Jim King and Bill Stone. WKPP
has been 
doing a job that is making cave diving look usefull and good, these guys are
rolling the 
dice. 

Perhaps it's time for all of us to take the bull by the horns and let King and
Stone know 
how we feel. Let's write, call and tell them that the caving community in
Florida and 
elsewhere does not support or condone their intentions. Let's let the magazines
and Journals 
know where we stand, and what we think. Time is short and the caves few.
