Amen!  I've not posted much to this group other than my intro, but I've been
listening a lot.  It is my intention to dive some of these more challinging 
profiles, and I love to hear about it.  I know its done, I've seen and heard
of it being done.  I want to hear from the people doing it.  I want to learn
from them, and thats why I signed up with this forum.

Those of you who think it is irresponsible to dive alone, or deep, or what
ever profile, don't do it.  But it is NONE of your business if there are
people out there who wish to pioneer.  Their life, not yours.

I can just see a similiar newsgroup in say, 1790.

Diver(pioneer) : I love to go out into the west alone.  I've pioneered many
trails west into california, makes it safer for those who come after.

Whiner(always around) : But its not safe!  Some New York accountant might 
try it and get eaten by a bear!  You might sue the saddle company if you fell
off!

Pfahg!  If you have no pioneer spirit within yourself, do not stomp on those
who show the sack to push the limits.

Keep diving, Tim!  I hope to be good enough to join you someday!
