Subject: Re: Instructors for "tech" agencies
Billy , you inbreed SOB. You can't compair me to any other IANTD
instructor. If so, than we will again have to remind ever one out here
that some of your good friends are also IANTD instructors. And theres
not a thing wrong with it. You must be the dumb ass type that thinks
everybody is ready to learn everything about diving in a one step
program. That type of idiology is what gets people killed not an IANTD
instructor. My the way, I have nothing to do with retail scuba and am
not affiliated with ony one dive store. I've got a higher middle class
income(inwhich florida would call a upper class income)and do not at all
rely on diving to make money. I teach for the love of the sport as well
as the desire to share with others what I love to do(DIVE).
 As for discrediting any WKPP members, if you could fucking read I have
not discredited anyone. I've just questioned some. I'm just tired of all
the bashing of both individuals as well as training agencies from some
of you who are not even teaching the sport. Here we have a person
complaining about cleaning up IANTD instructors messes and I simply
stated that he had no obligations to do so. And as to calling people
murderers was abunch of B.S. in my opinion also. I fully understand that
members of the WKPP are fantastic diver/explorers and have as well as
will continue to bring are sport alot. If anyone should be pissed about
the events that have been taking place it should be people like me, an
instructor.
 Mr. Boen has written to this group and expressed that he has learned
alot and I'm sure he's going to continue. But time in the water is going
to make him excell and you should even know that. His fondness might be
for his instructor, not IANTD instructors in general. And I believe
thats what he stated. 
 As for Rob Palmer, he was a seasoned diver and your going to say he was
sucked into a deep air dive by a bunch of dick-heads. Come-on Billy, Rob
must have known the risks. And probably accepted them. Besides he was
not a IANTD instructor anyhow. Keep reaching Billy! But if you were to
look at the list of names who are IANTD instructors you would see that
alot of these names are well known in the industry as well as people who
are looked up too in diving.
 I would imagine that their are alot of people on this list who are
tired of this topic. So what do you say we take it off of techdiver
mailing list?
