Scott-

Well, glad to hear that this guy does not represent your whole shop. He 
needs to get a clue, however.

I have said this over and over, but here it is again- Scuba diving has 
become a fun sport for me since I have listened to George's and other 
WKPP member's advise over the years. I don't cave dive and I primarily 
dive mid-atlantic ocean dives and it ALL applies directly. My enthusiasm 
stems from the fact that George is usually correct. And he learned the 
hard way and is helping divers by sharing his knowledge freely. This is 
not a trait shared by the majority of experienced divers.

The who-haa over Georges delivery of his diving knowledge is a 
smokescreen thrown up by the narrow-minded bozos who have a vested 
interest in bogus equipment and flawed methodology. And a few are just so 
stupid and ignorant that it is amazing that the ones who actually dive 
are still alive.

As DickSkinner pointed out, I am no dive god and never professed to be, 
but that does not mean that my lame wreckdiving up here in Virginia 
Beach, VA has not improved dramatically by the application of hogarth 
configured equipment. 

Nobody wants to be told that the $1000 they just shelled out was a 
complete and total waste of money, even when it becomes obvious. So they 
keep diving the crap and bad-mouthing those who really know. But the 
smart ones quietly sell their crap equipment to the new batch of suckers 
once the facts become obvious.

I have noticed that most of George and WKPP detractors defame him and his 
supporters by using alias's and faked email. Why are they hiding? Why are 
people like DickSkinner afraid to use their real names? Because they are 
afraid of looking like the idiots that they are. They are hedging their 
bets just incase they suddenly need to sell alot of equipment, like 
bondage wings and transpaks, if you know what I mean.

  Jim
