Subject: Re: Palmer's Death/Article in the Electronic Telegraph
Doug, with all due respect, wake the fuck up. This is the same group
who have been implicated in previous deep air nonsense, including one
former deep air "record holder", and several admitted proponents of deep
air diving. The ususal suspects who were there have been present on
numerous other trips where people have died deep on air. These guys have
been on the fringe of several other accidents involing deep air. Open a
dive magazine and see the articles written by persons on that baot about
their personal deep air diving record attemps. These are the people who
are trying to pretent that Palmer was jsut standing there and fell over
dead into the water and they chased him to 350 feet before themselves
weenying and aer trying to call it an accident. This is great for
insurance purposees.

    Let me repeat: Palmer was doing a deep air dive , or intending to do
a deep air dive. He is dead, and he was one stupid fuck - is that more
clear now? The people in volved are also stupid fucks, and are what is
wrong with diving today: a bunch of fat slobs trying to prove how tough
they are diving deep on air, no more , no less.

      Yo are fogetting that I liked Palmer, and I do not like what
happend to him. He is a great peowe of example - somebody who let
storkes get him killed, in other words a complete moron.
