So she was *turned away* from the best DIR operation in S. FL? She
wouldn't/wasn't listening to excellent advice? She was rejected by the DIR
business consortium, and left to, or forced to, dive with another
operation? You're telling us she displayed a stroke attitude from the
get-go? Are you trying to prove my thesis for me?

Here are some new questions.

What's more difficult, more responsible:

Taking a newbie under your wing, overcoming their resistance/ignorance with
patient, calm, thoughtful, considerate assistance and reason?

Or putting them down, turning them away -- and doing the body recovery later?
