  Tom, not attacking Kevin, just the consistent lack of any recognition
for he WKPP for the last ten years. His countrymen, David Doolette of
the Cocklebiddy Expedition and others came here and actually dove with
the WKPP - they did a genuine setup for us in Turner Sink, our most
serious dive site. They will be here this month again to dive with WKPP,
and then Olivier Isler is coming to dive with us for a month from
Switzerland ( the World Record distance holder for rebreather), Reinhard
Buchally from Germany will be here ( the master sneaker ) to dive with
us. Dr Buchally and Isler both have one of my scooters that you seem to
think are so shitty, I am going to England and France to dive with
Badier and his guys, JJ is going to dive with Carlos et al in Brazil,
etc etc. Bill Gavin, who started this kind of diving here, was never
mentioned in the article for trimix , cave diving, designing the EX19
rebreather, sccoters, etc etc etc , and qujite frankly, if I have to
stick it in Kev's face to get a tad of recognition for my team of 93
people who hold the rest of the records and have maximized this sport
and dominated it to date, I do not mind isulting a few
self-aggrandizining do-nothings to get that point across. I realize that
Kevin is the messenger, but we see from his encyclopedic response that
he knows damn well he slighted us, he insulted us, he comingled us with
some of the most horrifying strokes in diving, and then finsihed it off
with a picture of the Chamber Queen, and then calls me "macho". He needs
to get those reality pills out and do the whole bottle.
