For a long list of how I misquote and twist information to reflect
something other than reality, see http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf.

As far as the last, Billyw misunderstands me.  In this he is not alone -
I have received e-mail, some of it I believe publicly in the techdiver
forum, which did understand the point of my posts, and much that did
not.

I saw George accusing everyone under the sun, from Brett Gilliam to
random people whom he had never met, of drug abuse (pot smoking,
especially when about to go diving).

On the the other hand, Brett Gilliam was (and is) accusing George of
being a former cocaine addict.

Seemed to me like there was a story here.  Each is accusing the other of
pretty much the same thing!

I would not now have sought confirmation or denial from George in such a
public forum, at least in the first place.  It may be the reason that he
came clean on this.   But
George has now come clean on this subject.  But I probably would not
have had so many conversations with his lawyer.

I have still been unable to find confirmation of current drug use by
Brett Gilliam.  The only story that I ever hear, turns out to be the
alleged TDI instructor, who claimed after a DEMA conference, that he had
smoked a joint with Brett.

I would assume more evidence by now.  I have read various articles by
Brett, in which he fails to condemn marijuana as causing insanity,
violence, and cross-dressing (it doesn't).  And I have read the article
describing how the USN gave him marijuana as a test subject, back in the
1970s or something.  Hey, if he got given it by a guy with stripes, he
gets a free ride on that one.

But I have never seen or heard a credible, detailed accusation of
current marijuana use.  I am very interested, and I assume that so would
George's lawyer.  Any info, e-mail me at mailto:wrolf@co*.ne*.

Presumably this issue will now be adjudicated in the courts.

I sincerely regret not having sought comment from George Irvine III
privately, before publishing information my web site or publicly
e-mailing on the techdiver list.

I apologize to George for having done so, and to the members of this
list, for having wasted their time.
