Al,

  Every time some numb nuts straps on a set of doubles and kills or
injures while exceeding their own limits someone else trys to point at
the technical community.  Bullshit!  This is the type of stuff that
helped put the west coast years behind after one senseless double
fatality on a wreck off So.Calif several years ago. This is no technical
diving accident. Were's the technique? 
 If you choose to analize all the recreational accidents then have at
it, but please don't confuse the two for our sports sake(technical
diving). DAN has an average of 90 per year.  Yes, technical diving
accidents are increasing but lets not try to add numbers to the list
calling anything beyond rereational limits technical.  
 This has nothing to do with sweeping anything under the rug.  I'm just
throwing the trash back over the fence were it belongs. 

   Thanks for your reply,
   
       John
