I think you are being a bit presumptuous to join a list and expect 
instant gratification. If you don't like what you see in brief time you 
have been on here, fine, leave. But, some of diving's best (and worse) 
divers are on this list and if you have the patience to sift through some 
of the detritus, you will find some good stuff.

But, be forewarned, this is not a politically correct arena. If you have 
delicate sensibilities and a thin skin, you might as well unsubscribe now 
before your eyes start to bleed. And if you think you change this list to 
be a nice touchy-feely, lovey-dovey forum, be my guest and try. I could 
use some entertainment.

You might check out the archives on aquanaut.com, it is a goldmine of 
information. I would recommend looking that over right away. Then just 
lurk and read and when you've picked up enough to post an intelligent 
question, fire away. Fake posts and trolls are always welcome when things 
get slow, just be imaginative and, above all, have a good sense of humor.
