Hey Roger. I can't help but notice that you know an awful lot about me. 
Of course it's not hard to do, my life is an open book.

The funny thing is that I don't recall hearing your name before and 
neither has anyone else. We are all a bit curious how such a well spoken 
man such as yourself has managed to know so much about what's going on on 
this list is spite of being a member for just 3 weeks.

Your method of discussion is also curious. Almost as if there was a trial 
going on or something. You seem to have done this before.

So, where do you live? What kind of diving do you do? You a caver or a 
Northeaster? Do you do wreck diving? What do you do for a living? You 
know anybody on the list?

   Jim
