Dan, you seem to post a rather large amount of hear-say on this
list. Are you sure everything that you are spouting off about is
factual?

Dan, curious to know if you were there wene this statment was given
to the investigators. If not, how did you here this?

WOW again. did Darick really tell his class that?

More hear say/speaking for others. Now, Now.

SPEAK FOR YOUR SELF DAN! I,m on the list and not much more is clear
to me except for the fact that you are accusing people of murder for
a accident that took place while diving. By the way, is this an
attempt for you to promote GUE, by hammering the rest of the
technical agenies that may be someday be competition? HMMMMMM.
If so, than I've got some GUE for you.

Jesus Christ! Now your speaking for the whole world.

And what organization is it that made Darek an open water instructor
with less than a year or experience. Sounds like more political(BRAVO
SIERRA) to me.

Can't say I blame him personally.

Dan, just what is your interpitation of murder? As I see it, it would
be the unlawful premeditated killing of a human being. Seems to me
that both Tom and Derrick could have a case against you for
defemation of charactor.

As it makes me upset you are such a little tatal tailing baby.

Were is your individuality,DAN. Is that a bad word with you.

NOT. So how about admitting that Derrick did not perform his job the > way an

Again, what about some individuality? Often that brings great things
to the chalkboard. Please explain to me the down side of it.

I also feel Tom is showing me a lot of mature control right now by not
kicking your ass. How much instructional scuba have you done Dan. By
that I meam teaching scuba? All this verbal diarrhea sound to me to be
a bunch of negitive hype towards IANTD in order to open the doors for JJ
new and upcomming organization. I don't think GUE needs to start out by
bashing everyone else in order to make your selves look superior. In my
opinion IANTD is the finest technical organization there is and it looks
like they will continue to stay that way for a long time.
Sincerly, John Walker
