Subject: Re: JJ - my 2 cents
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.

     from west of the Mississippi (specifically Texas) who may be reading 
     about this "JJ" business and, being seperated from all of the 
     hullaballoo in Florda by 1000 miles, may not know what to make of all 
     of this.  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.
