George -- you said:

>about WKPP - you have no clue.

If we are in fact talking about the same guy, I didn't send him to you, he
wanted to go. I'd much prefer he got a stroke arrest and learned something
from you guys, who have much to teach, than have respiratory arrest and
learn the hard way. Thanks for helping with his education, the reason I
encouraged him to, with cotton out, assist you.

Then you said:
>Rat tied off when the cave went deep

No, he didn't tie off, because he couldn't find a place to do that. Instead
of just reeling back at a safe depth, he dropped to 240 to leave the reel
("You *got* to have the end of the line, or you ain't a *real* cave
diver.") Then he started to survey but his buddy, narced puppy that he was,
still had the wisdom to turn the dive, for which he should be commended and
thanked. I can't believe you're pounding me for singing the same song whose
lyrics you claim the copyright to. What gives?

>and will go
>back on gas . You really are an idiot.

I look at deep air as having the same potential for disaster as drunk
driving -- but Kris Mann never told me that drunk driving was OK as long as
you plan to come back and do it sober the next day, the way you are. Only a
real idiot would say that, and only another one would buy it. (Get some
WKPP brain-trust at MIT to run a syllogism on your apparently acceptable
exploration method and my analogy, and tell us what he comes up with.)

Say, if you ever get to have a public debate with him, will you be arguing
*against* Hal or *for* Hal? I'm confused. ;-)
