Bill Rennaker has finally gone over the boundary of just plain stupidity into malicious and vicious illegal acts - he has broken the law. You all remember the mail bomb that Rennaker sent to the cavers list. You also remember all of the hate mail from pissed-off recipients that ensued. Well, Rennaker has printed this out and taken it to the Suwannee County Sheriff, where he attempted to file a complaint that I had threatened his life. Being the rocket scientist that he is, he handed them mail which was clearly from other people. The sheriff called Safari.net ( Rennaker told them it was from there ) and asked them about it - they told him that not only was the mail not from me, it was clearly from elsewhere and was clearly identifed as to who sent it, where it came from, what servers it came from, and what accounts. Filing false claims is illegal. Rennaker will find this out very soon. For the rest of you dumb red necks - if you have not yet gotten the message, let me give it to you straight: you all need to get out of this sport, and get out of our hair, and get out of teaching , especialy teaching, and you need to lose our name. For anyone who is considering taking any courses related to cave diving , let me asure you that there are a handfull of great instructors, and about 50 complete idiots, with one Bill Rennaker being the absolute worst, in my opinion, and my opinoin is backed up by my results as a diver, as a cave diver , a project leader, and as one who has developed equipment and techniques in use by the top team in the sport, one who is responsible for 80 divers and for dive plans that involve multiple participants in extreme exposures on a routine basis for the past several years. Anyone who wants to check my track record can not only ask around , they can read about it in the last six years' worth of dive journals and magazines, and read the articles arthored by me or coauthored by me on topics of phyiology, decompression, dive planning , scooters, lights ,rebreathers, logistics, etc - go see for yourself. In my opinion, Bill Rennaker is the absolute, unequivocal , worst dive instructor in cave diving , and his attitude is one that we would not allow in the water with us, and his methods, techiniques, gear rigging ( and total lack of knowledge) are all so bad as to be actually forbidden practices of our group - ask anyone is the WKPP. Call me for more details on why this guy whould be avoided at all costs. I think this guy is dangerously stupid, and you will, too. But you make up your own mind, do not take my opinion as any reason to avoid this guy : SIMPLY GO INTO THE ARCHIVES OF AQUANAUT.COM AND CALL UP ARTICLES BY RENNAKER. This will prevent you from making the mistake of dealing with him, and let me assure you that his buddies are no better. I hope all of you can see what I have been saying all along about these guys: look at what the Longs did, look at what Wayne did, look at Rennaker, and look at what all of the others I mentioned have done, and look at what I do and what my project does, and tell me where I have not been right on the money with everything I have said about cave diving and about the goobers, and look at how they are proving who and what they are, and we are proving who and what we are - look at the instruction by us, the products we create, the information we give, the diving we do, the results we get, and look at the Rennakers of the Goober colony out there. Just take a good look - these guys are the death of this sport, and we are what can keep it alive and useful. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
