Subject: Re: CDS and NACD Accident Analysis Files
Bill, if Andy is implying that we have no respect for fine cases like
Dennis Sirven , who got shit-faced, smoked a joint, dove to 400 on air
intending to go deeper with another diver's safety bottles, and got
killed doing it, he is dead right - Sirven was a STROKE.

If you will recall , I called that one perfectly at first sight, as I
did Palmer, Parker, and many others. I was PROVEN right after the fact.
Truth  is that Andy does not want to face reality, and the reality is
that we have nothing to do with the "community" , as they do nothing but
cause us problems, and mostly by doing the kind of thing Sirven did.

I know these people , Andy, you don't , and Sirven is just one of many
who do exactly the same thing right here and now and I will be glad to
plaster their names all over here if it will help your stupid ass
understand the problem. 

The fact is that I am far more qualified to discuss accident analysis
than Andy ever will be, and our track record at WKPP, which excludes
strokes like Andy who preach and practice sheer stupidity, is flawless
under our current leadership. We are the real community, and we will be
around long after the strokes are not allowed to dive anywhere with
anything.
