Trout, I couldn't agree with you more. It is a shame that people don't realize that JJ is not only an awesome instructor and diver, but he is one of the nicest people that anyone will ever meet. That is why it just sends me through the fucking roof when people like Rennaker start shit with JJ. Obviously, Bill has no clue what JJ (or the WKPP for that matter) is all about. People don't realize that an unfounded attack on JJ really pisses a lot of people off, as they actually know what JJ is like. As for the contributions from JJ, George, and the WKPP as a whole.........anybody that has a clue can see the wealth of knowledge that they posess and are willing to share with the community. Attacking them is like biting the hand that feeds you. After awhile, you won't be fed anymore. Ofcourse the people doing the "biting" know everything there is to know about cave diving. They have proved that by the intense exploration they are doing. Yeah, right. Think about this. Think about all the new guys that have benefited from the help of the WKPP. Then ask yourself, what have guys like Rennaker done for the new guys.

I apologize for using the lists this way but it was the easiest way to get the message out to everybody.) Gang, From the many posts of late, you may be confused about Jarrod Jablonski. I just want to let you know that of all the people I have met in the cave diving community (or anywhere for that matter), JJ is one of the finest, not just as a diver or instructor, but as a person. His kindness and thoughfulness are well known, and his reputation without peer. I have sat and talked with JJ, and find his intellegence and wisdom refreshing and a pleasure, something I rarely see from most cave divers. I am still not sure about veggie hot dogs, but other than that, I can find no fault with this man. Anyone who would speak ill of him shows his own stupidity. Kick GMIIII around all you want. I'll even help Call Vinnie a bully, no big deal. Sankey an asshole, we all agree. But pick on JJ and you've got a real fight on your hands. Just my two cents, .006 when adjusted for inflation, Trout P.S. To those who question my motives for posting this, SMD. JJ is not on these lists, and I want nothing from him.
