Scott and all,

I have been in the middle of some of the most arguable portions of this 
debacle (TDI vs WKPP). I have made my own phone calls and visits to 
verify the claims of attempted sponsorship interuption. I can tell you 
beyond the shadow of even the fat boy, TDI's leadership is self serving 
and grossly irresponsible in all areas (no secret). I will have nothing 
to do with these types any longer. I suggest that if any of our freinds 
are TDI supporters that we encorage them to seriously reconsider why 
they are enforcing a flawed program that causes so much "cheating" of a 
already desperate system (dive industry training). It should be apparent 
to all that the only policing of the agency occurs when personal 
conflicts arise; nothing to do with upholding standards, I am convinced 
they have NONE.
