   As many of you know, there is somebody out there using the Rocketmail
service under the name of Joe King to misrepresent the WKPP. This person has
certain bits and peices of information , twisted and half trueths, that he is
using to work over Jarrod Jablonski and me anonomously. 

   To me it sounds like some of our own members, who have befriended idiots
like Chirs Brown and others who can not get a story straight, have said things
or expressed opinions that , combined with other information, opinions, or
half-truths are being combined into a concoction designed to damage WKPP o9r JJ
and me. This will not work, per se, but will serve to cause problems
internally. Trust me, that as I find the connections, they will be severed.
This project is secure, and I am not running a popularity contest, and neither
is JJ - he is the best, and that is all anyone needs to know. I do not care
whta any of you think of me, as this is my hobby and my public service. Don't
like that? Fuck you

    Let's look at what this guy is claiming, other than personal slander about
me and JJ:

    1) Complains that we allow anyone to dive who buys a scooter or creates a
web site

    answer: The cost of building these scooters is enormous - I do the work, I
front the money, I am glad that people not in the project, Like Olivier Isler (
you assholes have heard of him, right) are buying them, so that my team members
can afford to have them , and so we can have a flow of spare parts, and so we
can qualify as a big enough customer of Oceanic to buy the parts. Arnie Jackson
and I combine resources on this. Did you big mouths know that? Does this
satisfy you assholes now? Since I have not even been paid on many of the
scooters, I am not too happy about this reference - not happy at all

     answer two: I have NEVER SEEN OR MET Carl Heinzl. I do know that the
bullshit dive shop where he rented his dry suit demanded a dry suit card, so he
told them he was taking a course from JJ. When I find Heinzl, and get the name
of this dive shoip, I promise a payback for this bullshit. What kind of asshole
dive shop does things like this to people? 
 
      answer three: I have never met any of the web site guys, and only
recently met Jeff Bently at the NACD wrokshop - I have never seen him before or
since, and I can tell you I am very gratefull for all he has done for our
project, and wish he would come out and dive with us.

       answer four: Tennant was a student of JJ's, and one of the benfits of
being a student of JJ is that you get to dive wtih guys like me and my team ( I
have done dives wtih many of JJ students, and other top divers on my team have
also, and students of Jj automaticly quailify to work on this project, jsut
like students of Pat Watson, Steve Berman, Tyler, or any other WKPP
instructors, since we do not have to retrain them), just like I got to dive
with Bill Main and Bill Gavin and Lamar English when I was taking cave from
Parker when he ran this project. The reason that guys like Parker and JJ teach
cave is that allows them to spend concentrated time dive the project. When the
main stuff is over, JJ will go on to his real life using his degree ( as
opposed to the mutant red neck goobers you could be taking cave from, or the
bullshit New England wannabeess who dive once a year)

        Ansewer five : the way I get people trained is to use them diving in
our project, whether Bill Gavin or Casey McKinlay or anyone esle likes it or
not - it will continue, as that is where I go t JJ, Rick, Brent, Derek, etc. If
I listened to Gavin or Casey, who the fuck would I be diving with now? Casey is
in Business School and Gavin is sailing in the Carribean. Who? You tell me? 

         The fucking fact is that I have guaranteed a project , and I will do
what it takes to fullfill that, depsite the opinions of any of you, and I mean
any of you. You do the work, you can run your fucking mouths. 

         As far as new England wreck divers or any other cave divers or divers
anywhere criticizing me or my methods - you do it, you can talk. Can't do it,
shut the fuck up. None of you has clue number one about the real thing, and
everytime you open your mouths it is screamingly apparent to those of us who do.

          Now, how about somebody telling me who Joe is , who the dive shop is,
and who is spreading this misinformation? It is obvoiusly somebody in the dive
business, or they would use their real name. Why is the dive business so full
of idiots?
