 There are several different versions of the lies that Stoen tells. I talked to 
Ian right before he went on that assinine trip, right after he and another 
vargrant stroke had just finished smoking a joint, and he told me in his 
pot-crazed way what a great and smart guy stone was, and how great that kluged 
rebreather was. I told him what I thought would happen - it did. Ian was also a 
diabetic, and stone used that as an excuse for a while. The fact is that stone 
surrouds himself with all kinds of fuckups, since nobody with any skill will
put 
up with the asshole, and it is impossible to tell wheter the infimities, the 
drug and alcholholabuse, the machines, the stupitiy, the strokery, or just bad 
luck kills these guys - who care? Look at stones current group of stroke - 
people like Mark leonard and ralph hood, every pot-smoking fat slob in certral 
florida, and every geek who has never done a cave dive. Stone promises thes 
weenies a shot at the brass ring - if they are not doing what I do and have
done 
on a regular baswis for the lst several years, they have no business playing 
this game with any equipment, and all they are doing is interrupting my work
and 
possibly pissing everyone off so baly that we aer not allowed to continue after 
they quit. I am guaranteed at least one more dive in Wakulla after I finish 
exploring it - the one to pull the bodies out, and since I know the entire cave 
, I wil be the one that has to do it, and you can bet there wil be no lies or 
excuses on that round, and I wil have the sheriff there to take possession of 
the gear and body befer the evidence can be hidden.
