When I first subscribed to this list, I had hoped that it would be 
the place for a neophyte tech wannabe to learn the proper gear 
configuration and to learn how not to make the mistakes that others 
had made. Turns out that it is if you can separate the bullshit from 
the good stuff. That's not hard to do either if you move the cotton 
around a bit and read between the lines.

While I'll never hold the end of the line in Wakulla, I'm a better 
diver today due to the insights provided from some very good 
experiencd divers that don't mind sharing the wealth. Rec.scuba is 
the place for fun, this is the place to get serious, although cavers 
and tech sure provide some gut busters too.
